An age lasting 2,160 years doesnt start
on one day, in one year or even one decade! The Tibetan Master D.K.--discussing
this concept through his channel Alice A. Bailey in Esoteric Astrology suggested
that the "shift time" between ages might be estimated at 500 years accounting
for the moving in and out of vast, cosmic vibrations and energies.

On January 24 and 27, 1994, the Hubble Space Telescope captured the images
that went into this mosaic showing the pieces of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9.
These images were taken six months before the pieces crashed into Jupiter.
Twenty nuclei are visible in this image; the 21st piece is located just off
the right side of the image.Some of the nuclei were seen to further
divide before impact; the fourth nucleus from the left is apparently starting
to undergo such a division.

July, 1994: Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, named after its co-discoverers, was
often referred to as the "string of pearls" comet. It is famous for its
suggestive appearance as well as its collision with the planet Jupiter! The
comet's original single nucleus was torn to pieces by Jupiter's strong gravity
during a close encounter with the solar system's largest planet in 1992.
The pieces are seen in this composite of Hubble Space Telescope images to
be "pearls" strung out along the comet's orbital path. In July of 1994 these
pieces collided with Jupiter in a rare and spectacular series of events.

This Hubble Space Telescope image of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 clearly shows
some of the 21 fragments comprising the comet. The comet was torn into pieces
when it passed within 25,000 kilometers (about 15,500 miles) of Jupiter's
cloud tops on July 8, 1992. The disruption of a comet into multiple fragments
is an unusual event, but the capture of a comet into an orbit around Jupiter
is even more unusual. Calculations shortly after the discovery of Comet
Shoemaker-Levy 9 in March 1993 showed that the comet was in orbit about Jupiter
and would collide with the giant planet during its next close approach in
July 1994. The collision of a large comet with a planet was an extraordinary
event, one that had never been predicted and anticipated before in human
history.

Scientists also collected a large amount of information about Jupiter
when fragments of the dying Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 crashed into the planet
in July 1994. The collisions stirred up the planet's atmosphere, heating
interior gases to incandescence and bringing them to the surface. Scientists
captured detailed images of these gases with telescopes located on the Earth
and in space. They used spectroscopy to analyze the gases in order to verify
and expand knowledge about the composition of the planet's atmosphere.

Jupiter radiates about twice as much energy as it receives from the sun.
The source of this energy is apparently a very slow gravitational contraction
of the entire planet, rather than the nuclear fusion that powers the sun.
Jupiter would have to be almost 100 times larger to have enough mass to ignite
a nuclear furnace.

Jupiter's turbulent, cloud-filled atmosphere is therefore cold. With hydrogen
so abundant, hydrogen-based molecules, such as methane, ammonia, and water,
predominate. Periodic temperature fluctuations in Jupiter's upper atmosphere
reveal a pattern of changing winds like that in the equatorial region of
Earth's stratosphere. Photographs of sequential changes in Jovian clouds
suggest the birth and decay of giant cyclonic storm systems. New meteorological
data may come in 1995, when the space probe Galileo will rendezvous with
Jupiter.

Ammonia freezes in the low temperature of Jupiter's upper atmosphere
(-125° C/-193° F), forming the white cirrus clouds-zones, ovals,
and plumes-seen in many photographs of the planet transmitted by the Voyager
spacecraft. At lower levels, ammonium hydrosulfide can condense. Colored
by other compounds, clouds of this substance may contribute to the widespread
tawny cloud layer on the planet. The temperature at the tops of these clouds
is about -50° C (about -58° F), and the atmospheric pressure about
twice the sea-level atmospheric pressure on earth. Through holes in this
cloud layer, radiation escapes from a region where the temperature reaches
17° C (about 63° F). Still deeper, warmer layers have been detected
by radio telescopes that are sensitive to cloud-penetrating radiation.

Although only the barest skin of the planet is directly visible, calculations
show that the temperature and pressure continue to increase toward the interior,
reaching values at which hydrogen first liquefies and then assumes a metallic,
highly conducting state. A core of earthlike material may exist at the
center.

The Jovian magnetic field is generated deep within these layers. At the
surface of Jupiter, this field is 14 times stronger than earth's. Its polarity
is the opposite of earth's, so a terrestrial compass taken to Jupiter would
point south. This field is responsible for the huge belts of trapped charged
particles that circle the planet out to a distance of 10 million km (about
6 million mi).

The after effects of the explosion of self-luminous formations on Jupiter
in July 1994 are considered to be a result of the relaxation of a swarm of
plasmoids generated in the Solar System region of maximal energetic and material
heterogeneity. A cosmophysical formation widely known as "Shoemaker-Levy
9 Comet" is still far from having a reliable, single meaning, interpretation.
And, the indefiniteness of an explanatory definition has tended to increase
proportionally with the arrival of new information.

Current cometary theory versions of the July 1994 explosions on Jupiter
[1,2,] lack credibility, as far as they go, because of their inability to
explain the observed reactive forces; especially in the area of electromagnetics
[3]. The application of the plasmic nature model of self-luminous formations,
(currently in an advancing state of development) [4,5], however, moves the
problem into an arena of much more plausible answers concerning the true
nature and eventual consequences of the observed massive explosions. The
huge amount of data that has been provided by surface, as well as satellite
and interplanetary probes, (Galileo, Ulysses, and Voyager) regarding the
Jupiter/SL-9 events is difficult, if not impossible to coordinate with luminous
"cometary fragment", solid body, models. The observed chemical composition,
and an input matter of less than 10,000 ton [3]) does not translate, or equate,
to a composition of "dirty ice". Questions regarding the power mechanisms,
and the sequence of explosions, are hard to answer using standard dirty snowball
theory. The consequences of the series of "weak" and "strong" effects resulting
from the impacts on Jupiter, are natural occurring events when the plasma
model of comets is applied. Observations of the electromagnetic relaxation
of the local electromagnetic field imply the equivalent of a short circuit
between the planetary surface, and Jupiter's surrounding plasma (composed
primarily of S02) by way of the comet's multiple nuclei. [4,8]

The electrical charged and magnetized clots of plasma made a vertical
cut in the electromagnetic frame of Jupiter, and injected energy and matter
into the top atmosphere which was a 1,000 to 10,000 times greater than the
expected ice and dust chemical concentration of energy [6]; it was typical,
however, of a plasma composition which exhibits an absence of water, and
a small quantity of dust . As in the case of the 1908 "Tungusska meteorite"
in Siberia, the massive forces unleashed on Jupiter by S-L9 resulted in an
unusual breach of the physical vacuum homogeneity [7] via the anisotropy
of interplanetary space. This leads to a number of natural consequences resulting
in differing energy-saturation and chemical composition objectives. The injection
of energy and matter by S-L 9's "string of pearls" plasma queue, has created
a new and excited energetic state on Jupiter that is reflected in a number
of new developments which include: A reflective light echo from Jupiter's
moons, a variation in decimeter radiation readings, an excited and unusual
state of seismic activities, an increase of brightness in the radiation belts,
an excited "glimmering Aurora", a detection of flashes of X-ray's and ultraviolet
radiation, an excitation of the auroral process in the Northern Hemisphere,
and a decreasing luminosity of Io's plasma torus.[3].

We would like to emphasize that due to the magnetic conjugation between
Earth and Jupiter, that a number of the processes occurring on the giant
planet do, in fact, influence the state of Earth's magnetosphere. This
magnetoconjugation is proven by the actual coincidence of their dipole axes,
as well as the matching of the parameters and location of their non-dipole
magnetic fields. There are four world magnetic anomalies (quadro-poles) on
both Earth and Jupiter. It is then possible to reasonably hypothesize that
the present alteration of Earth's magnetic fields by the extension of its
of polar slits, and the vertical redistribution of ozone layers, is closely
connected with powerful developments resulting from Jupiter's encounter with
Shoemaker-Levy 9.

There was a supernova explosion in the galaxy next to ours on February
24, 1987. The energy from this explosion has been affecting us for a long
time. This supernova caused many people to wake up in 1987, and start their
search for wisdom. This also activated the energy for the Harmonic Convergence
that occurred in August of 1987. There are many unseen events going on in
our galaxy, and on our Earth, that are not always apparent to the normal
population. One of the events that just happened was a dimensional blend
that started on January 13, with a solar blast from our Sun.

The year of 1987 was also the year when the planet Saturn erupted into
light. Some kind of event caused a ring of white light around Saturn and
Astronomers wondered what had happened to that planet. We have to pass through
the gates of Saturn to reach the outer planets of Neptune and Uranus. Neptune
rules the female higher mind, and Uranus rules the male higher mind. Saturn
has always been known as the hard task - master because we have to pass the
tests from that planet before we can become enlightened by Neptune and Uranus.
Saturn rules the limitations we feel in our lives. Because the light from
the 1987 supernova will be coming to Earth this year, we will have the
opportunity to start vibrating to Uranus, the planet of light.

Saturn (Satan) has been considered a karmic planet. It has been known
to cause challenges in life. It is now possible to receive the rewards that
Saturn brings when the lesson has been learned.

There has been a great cleansing going on in our solar system since 1987
when a great white turbulence was seen around Saturn. I believe this is when
Saturn lost its power to control our solar system. Then in 1994 many comets
crashed into Jupiter. This caused that planet to go through its change. Saturn
rules governments and Jupiter rules religion. Mars and the Moon are considered
dead planets because they went through wars long ago that basically destroyed
them. The moon also went through some kind of trouble a few months ago when
something happened to its orbit. I don't know what Venus has experienced.
Maybe Venus has already gone through its cleansing.

Now something has happened to Mercury. On January 14, when Mercury was
at its closest point to the Sun, something happened. It was apparently hit
by a corona mass ejection, which caused a huge mass of something to leave
Mercury. Where did this mass go? Did Mercury give birth to something? I think
that planet just went through its change. Does this mean that Earth is next
in line to go through its transformation?

There is also much concern about the fragments from comet Lee. This comet
ejected three pieces when it went around our Sun last August. Where are those
fragments? Were they caught into the gravitational pull of Earth? We are
also moving through a part of space that is filled with much comet debris.
This means there is the possibility of a large piece hitting Earth. There
have been many small ones that have come into our atmosphere in the past
two years. Is there a larger one out there ready to hit Earth? The Bible
says a stone from heaven causes the world economy to fall.

MALDEK

Maybe the threat will come in the form of a planet killer ... a rock a
few miles in diameter, there are some out there that are a few hundred kilometers
across and we won't be able to stop it. If you go back through our history,
you will see that there have been 5 major extinction events since the formation
of the moon, which was created as a result of a planetary sized object impacting
into the earth at about 4.5 billion ago. Goodness only knows how many near
misses there have been but a Schumacher - Levy would have been quite adequate.
The ancients talk about the return of Marduk (a planetary sized object) in
4600 years time. How accurate is their knowledge ?

The asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter was a Planet destroyed in an
atomic explosion over 18,000,000 years ago. In 1766, Titius of Wittenberg
discovered a startling relationship in the spacing of the first seven Planets,
which points to the former existence of Maldek. In 1772, this was published
by the director of the Berlin Observatory, Johann Bode, and is known as Bode's
Law.

Here is how it works: write the number sequence 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 96
and 192. Notice that after the 0, each number is doubled to give the next.
Now add 4 to each number and divide by 10. The results are: .4, .7, 1.0,
1.6, 2.8, 5.2, 10.0 and 19.6. These are, within a few percent, the exact
number of astronomical units (AU) each Planet is from the Sun! (One AU equals
the distance Earth is from the Sun  about 93,000,000 miles.) The exception
is at 2.8 AU, where we find the asteroid belt exactly where Bode's Law predicted
a Planet. However, the Law doesn't apply to Neptune or Pluto.

By 1960, however, the majority of astronomers believed that the asteroids
were debris from the formation of the Solar System 4 billion years ago.

Enter Professor Michael Ovenden, astronomer of the Department of Geophysics
and Astronomy, and The Institute of Astronomy and Space Science at The University
of British Colombia, Vancouver, Canada. He worked for 25 years to build a
powerful case for the fact that the asteroid belt was a Planet which exploded
millions of years ago!

His theory, The Principle of Least Interaction Action, correctly predicts
the orbits of the major Moons of Uranus and Jupiter, and, to within 1 percent,
the orbits of all the Planets from Mercury to Neptune. But only, in his view,
if a large Planet existed in place of the asteroid belt approximately 16
million years ago when it was suddenly dissipated'. The following is
further evidence for this:

1) Meteorites, many of which are stray asteroids, often show a complicated
crystalline structure that could have formed only if it had cooled slowly
over millions of years. For a small meteorite from the asteroid belt to have
cooled so slowly, it must have been part of a larger body, hundreds if not
thousands of miles across.

2) Many meteorites are magnetised as if they had cooled in the magnetic
field of a large rotating Planet.

3) Most iron meteorites show more than ten times the exposure to cosmic
ray particles than other meteoritescommensurate with being parts of
a Planet destroyed by a thermonuclear explosion. Cosmic rays originate in
supernovas (exploding stars) and other apparently violent cosmic events.

4) Some scientists believe that tektites come from the asteroid belt.
Certain Russian scientists say that only a thermonuclear explosion could
have created the heat to form these glassy, molten rock and metal spheres
that are found in a few areas on Earth, and that intelligence' must
have caused the explosion of a Planet.

Planetary karma is the accumulated karma of millions of people that lies
like an astral smog over the Earth and can result in earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, tornados and other disasters. If enough people change themselves
inside and learn karmic lessons the easy way, planetary cataclysm can be
avoided. But still the karma has to be expressed in some mitigated form.
Perhaps instead of a meteor crashing to earth, a satellite reenters and burns
up.

Vedic astrology or Jyotish is the "Science of Light", an ancient astrological
discipline that originated more than 4,000 years ago during the Pre-Vedic
civilization of ancient India. The "Rishis", a Sanskrit word meaning "seers",
cognized through transcendental visions, the connection between the celestial
bodies of our solar system and the human body.

The motion of the planets and their positions in relation to each other,
acts upon us throughout our lifetime, just as the lunar phases push and pull
the oceans and the seas.

According to the Vedic science of astrology, the planets and all the stars
in our universe represent certain energies, and, in fact, do emit magnetic
and electric fields. Vedic astrology held that each planet gives out its
own, cosmic color, generating a particular energy and influence that propagates
throughout the cosmos. The transmission of these colored rays through space,
accompanied by the energy-giving properties of heat, magnetism and electricity,
have an influence on the life of every living creature.

Vedic astrology deals with seven visible planets and two invisible ones:
the SUN, MOON, MARS, MERCURY, JUPITER, VENUS, and SATURN, along with the
two lunar nodes, RAHU (ascending lunar node) and KETU (descending lunar node).
These nodes are the two intersecting points of the solar and lunar planes
as seen from the earth.

Major Planetary Alignments

Fact is... astrologers don't have much practical experience in interpreting
such a massive, intense archetypal gathering of planets within a single Zodiacal
sign. You see... there was only one other time in the past five hundred years
when planet Earth experienced a similar type alignment of the 7 visible planets
- just one time when all 7 planets were contained within one single Western
Tropical Zodiacal sign.

On February 4, 1962 - a similar planetary alignment occurred in the sign
of Aquarius. I should mention here, that in modern times Aquarius has enjoyed
the benefits of a very nice and overly idealized reputation when compared
with the other 12 Zodiac Signs.

What's The Real Question?

In this Taurean planetary alignment (that the
1962 Aquarius alignment lacked), there was a planetary conjunction between
Jupiter and Saturn. Occurring approximately every 20 years, the conjunctions
of Jupiter and Saturn are traditionally known for signaling "the turning
over of power." Occurring in the sign of Taurus, this Jupiter/Saturn conjunction
will kick off a 20 year cycle where humanity will turn its focus onto the
good, the bad, and the uglier sides of Taurean energy.

The ancient Roman poet, Ovid, informs us that once upon a time... the
gods were quite concerned that they were being ignored. So Jupiter (the chief
ruling god of thunder) and Mercury (the messenger god) visited Earth disguised
as poor, beggarly travelers. All the many people who refused Jupiter and
Mercury shelter were drowned in a great flood and thus repaid for their
godlessness. Conversely, those who openly welcomed the unknown visitors into
their home were then honored with the fulfillment of their greatest desires
and hopes.

The archetypal motif of the gods visiting earth disguised as poor, unknown
visitors is quite common among differing cultural mythologies and religions.
In the Judeo Christian tradition (for example), the unknown visitors are
most often identified as being angels. In the New Testament Book of Hebrews
- believers are strictly cautioned to be kind to strangers because you may
be entertaining angels unaware.

In astrology, the continually moving ("transiting") planets of our solar
system mysteriously serve as the "unknown visitors" and "messengers" of the
universe. Through their changing patterns in the sky, the planets speak to
humanity - using a symbolic language - in regard to the purposeful, evolutionary
cycles of growth and life on planet Earth. The planetary movements contain
valuable information on the soul growth of our world when looked at as a
whole, and they also pass along important information for each of us on a
very individual, private level.

If we could speed up these movements, we would see the energy (in any
form you want to see it, be it as plasma, charged atomic particles, etheric
matter, etc.) taking shape into many different patterns, colors and luminosities,
probably looking like petals in a flower and just like the Chakras in the
etheric body, which are nothing more than subtle particles spinning and orbiting
at such speeds that we can see the shapes they build.

Waves of energy are constantly being created by the motions of planets
and stars, and as we roughly explained in the section related to the One,
the Frequency, Shape and Amplitude of waves create the difference between
types of energy, forms and even dimensions. The understanding of wave dynamics
is a key that opens the door to many of the great truths.

By changes in the parameters of rotation speed, orbital speed, angle of
the axis, and diameter of the planet, different waves (in terms of shape,
frequency and amplitude) are created which sweep the planets' own "bodyspheres"
(the spheres made with matter of different planes, including the physical)
as well as the matter that originates on the Sun, and which envelops the
whole Solar System. And these differences will have important repercussions
in the nature of the astrological and astrophysical influence of the planets.

Another very important wave-forming phenomenon is the motion of the planets
and their moons along their orbit around the central star, and the motion
of the star itself around the galactic center, carrying with it all the smaller
moving bodies.

The wave-shapes created by these motions are easier to calculate and to
traduce into waves that can be perceived with our senses (audio and light
waves, for example), and which could have their own particular effects over
subtle and dense matter. In the future, Astrology will evolve into the scientific
application of different waves of energy proportional to those created by
the planets for healing purposes and for producing certain effects of which
we know yet nothing.

What appears to be "dense" is nothing more than oscillating particles
repeatedly occupying the same space, so tightly grouped together and moving
so fast that we cannot find that moment when there's a "hole" On the other
hand, when vibrations increase their Frequency, matter becomes more energy-like
and thus more evasive to the senses.

We could say that the Universe is just one primordial energy in various
kinetic states. Motion creates attraction, cohesion and radiation, and is
also the cause of disintegration, dissolution and decay. Not in vain the
Supreme being of all, The Absolute Brahman, the Energy Alpha-Omega, is described
in the Isa Upanishad as follows:

"The Spirit (Brahman), without moving, is swifter than the mind;.... Standing
still, He overtakes those who run." (Isa Upanishad. 4.)

The following quote from The Secret Doctrine, by H. P. Blavatsky clearly
resumes that which I am giving only certain details about:

"...Its one absolute attribute, which is ITSELF, eternal, ceaseless Motion,
is called in esoteric parlance the "Great Breath," which is the perpetual
motion of the universe, in the sense of limitless, ever-present SPACE. That
which is motionless cannot be Divine. But then there is nothing in fact and
reality absolutely motionless within the universal soul.". (Vol. 1, Page
1. Proem.)

The Supreme Deity as the fastest vibration in the Universe. A vibration
that adding new harmonics to Its original Frequency, Shape and Amplitude
(which basically remains unchanged) gives form to everything visible and
invisible.

Astrology currently studies the influence that the planets exert when
they are placed in different orbital positions, but it does so mostly from
a geocentric point of view and without considering parameters like rotation
speed, inclination of the axis, orbital advance, and how vital these are
in terms that all movements combined produce particular waves in the energetic
body of the solar system whose shape and frequency change periodically.

Our own zodiac is calculated by the (slowly shifting) position of the
equinoxes, or the points where the orbital plane of the Earth intersects
the plane of the equator - these points are referred as 0 degrees Aries and
0 degrees Libra).

The influence of the planets is normally considered by their position
relative to our Zodiac, but the fact that all the other planets also have
their own equinoxes, and as a result, their own Zodiacs, is not taken into
account. The influence of a planet would be more accurately predicted by
studying its position along its own Zodiac.

THE PLANETS

Even though we don't know much about changes in the planets' influences
which depend on their own cycles, we still have good information regarding
the basic nature of these cosmic entities, who are self conscious and at
the same time they are only integral part and energy centres of larger cosmic
beings, like our solar system and our galaxy.

Like everything in this Universe, planets can be considered as being triple
in nature, and existing in three separate realms simultaneously, just like
our own planet does. We call these three "dimensions":

1- The Physical World. It includes all planes from the Physical Plane
to the higher Mental Plane. This is the plane where most of Humanity and
the lower Kingdoms of Nature have their being. While our consciousness is
focussed on this realm, the influence of the planets over our material nature
and circumstances will be very strong, until that time where the aspirant
learns about planetary cycles and tries to flow along with them and to make
the most of these inevitable changes. By the time this is pursued, the aspirant
is obviously making use of his higher mental faculties and is developing
his intuition, which has its origin in the World of Souls.

2- The World of Souls. The Spiritual Triad. The higher Mental Planes,
the Buddhic Plane and the Atmic Plane. This is where the Hierarchy is focussed.
When the aspirant reaches this stage of development, he knows well the secret
of his own Ego , the fact that planets are also self conscious entities and
that everything, in all levels of existence, is interconnected. By "electrical
affinity", the now predominant vibration of the aspirant's Soul will resonate
with that aspect of His planet and other cosmic bodies that belong to the
same sphere of existence. The effects of the planets over his material existence
dissipates, and only that which is related with the balancing of past individual
Karma (and planetary Karma as well) will have an effect on his material
existence. At an advanced stage, the Initiate has contact with representatives
of the different Planetary Logoi, and gets first hand knowledge about their
natures.

3- The World of the Spirit. The Monadic Plane and above. This is the reign
of Shamballa and the sphere of the fully awakened Monads. I have said many
times that the state of being which is characteristic of Shamballa is beyond
the comprehension of even advanced Initiates. One of the keywords is
"Identification", a very high perception of the unity that pervades all
existence. The Masters that have reached this level of "self perception"
live on those spheres where the Divine Will holds sway, and they consciously
cooperate with the Purposes of the different Planetary Logoi, as well as
with the Solar Logos.

He have to emphasize the notion that the solar system is a living entity,
and that the visible and measurable portion of it is only the physical vehicle
of expression of this marvelous being. The physical Sun and planetary bodies
are the physical counterparts of its energy centres, and are analogous to
the chakras in the human form that we all already know so much about thanks
to the popularization of sciences like Raya Yoga and Kundalini Yoga. The
most important centres in human or cosmic beings are those which are the
receptors of each of the Seven Rays, and as you can infer by now, there is
a particular connection between certain planets (systemic chakras) and specific
chakras in the subtle bodies of living entities like human beings.

The Seven most relevant systemic centres have their physical counterparts
in:

The Sun. Mercury. Venus. Jupiter. Saturn. Uranus. Neptune.

The seven major systemic centres are also called "The Sacred Planets".
In previous esoteric literature, a non discovered planet called Vulcan was
considered among one of them and the Sun was treated separately. Vulcan was
supposed to orbit around the sun even closer to it than Mercury, but all
attempts to detect it were unsuccessful. The existence of Vulcan was theorized
on the late 18th. and early 19th. centuries because of certain abnormalities
in Mercury's orbit, but around 1915 Einstein explained this phenomenon and
other similar ones with his Theory of Relativity.

The importance of the Sun as the center of Life for the whole solar system,
and the Solar Logos, the super-being behind the manifestation of the whole
system, . at any level (and every astrologer will agree), the Sun is the
heart of the solar system. In the same way that the heart in animals and
human beings constantly pumps blood to the whole body, the Sun is pumping
energy in various states which reaches the furthest corners of the systemic
body only to return back to be processed and pumped again (see the solar
wind). The cyclic phenomenon called "solar spots" is analogous to the opening
and closing of the valves in the heart. On a more spiritual level, the "deep
cave of the heart" is also supposed to be the seat of the inner individual
God, call it the Soul, the Christ Within, the Atman, the Monad, the Spirit
or whatever you wish. At the same time, there's a sphere of being which is
called "The Spiritual Sun", which is the equivalent of our planetary centre
Shamballa, and which is the place where the Will of the Highest is focussed
and distributed.

I've said that every
planetary entity is triple (and then septenary) in nature. The three aspects
of the Sun are usually referred as:

The planet
Jupiter occupies a very
interesting position in this scheme, having a particular relationship with
the Sun. It is the second energy producing cosmic body in our system and
radiates more energy into space than it receives from the Sun. For certain
instruments (like radio telescopes),
Jupiter is "bright" as
a star. Dual solar systems (with two suns) are something very common in the
Universe, and Jupiter
would have been the second star in our system if it had gathered more matter
around itself initially (it is said that it would need at least 80 times
its current mass to initiate nuclear fusion in its interior, but I also read
that 12 times would have been enough). Still,
Jupiter is more than
twice as massive as all the other planets combined (318 times Earth), and
is just about as large in diameter as a gas planet can be. If more material
were to be added, it would be compressed by gravity such that the overall
radius would increase only slightly. A star can be larger only because of
its internal (nuclear) heat source.
Jupiter was called by
the Egyptians "Amon-Ra", which can be translated as "Hidden Sun".

The numerical position
(7) of Jupiter in the
solar system is equally interesting, and further indicates a special relation
with the Sun.

The space occupied by
the asteroids belt as one where (by certain formulas, like the Law of Bode)
one would expect a planet to exist, the asteroids belt could well be the
remains of a planet that was destroyed, or that for some reason wasn't able
to retain the matter that initially gathered. Its number (6) is also consistent
with a process of disintegration, related with cosmic forces that stimulate
discrimination, selection and purification. The esoteric meaning of the sign
of Virgo is related to these phenomena. In any case, the area where the
asteroid's belt is located is the focus of some of those systemic currents
and forces related with the creation of planets, or systemic energy centres.

If we consider this
arrangement a little further, we see that other relations between planets
emerge.

The connection between Venus and Mars, who can be considered opposites (with the Earth in the middle) and at the same time complementary, and whose symbols are employed as graphic representations of female and male respectively, becomes apparent. However, Mars is not one of the Sacred Planets.

The Earth has a very
peculiar position in this diagram, similar to everything represented by the
number four in a septenary division. Reading the
Fourth
Ray, and the
Buddhic
Plane can throw much light on the nature of our planet, referred sometimes
as "The School of Pain", and where so much suffering seems to prevail. But
with this I am not necessarily suggesting that the
Fourth Ray
is the major Ray of Earth, which is not a Sacred Planet either. The reader
must always remember that self-concious entities (planets included) are
influenced by three major rays:

The ray of the Personality.

The ray of the Soul.

The ray of the
Monad.

The latter is, of course,
the most important of all, but which one prevails depends on the evolutionary
stage of the entity in cuestion.

The diagrams and arrangements
that I've just exposed can be further expanded so that more planetary relations
become apparent, but I will leave that up to those dedicated students who
would care to resolve the rest of the puzzle for themselves. I already gave
all the clues (maybe more than I should). Keep in mind at all times that
we are dealing here with energy centres.

Three other planets are
considered to be particularly important as being the centres which represent
the Holy Trinity. They are also called "The Planets of Synthesis" and "The
Custodians of the Three Fires". These planets, and the aspects they embody
are:

The Three Fires mentioned
here (and elsewhere in this web page) are just different esoteric names for
the Three Major Aspects, but the scientific minded reader may be able to
see an analogy between these terms and three different heat producing phenomena:

It is curious how either
the first or the third process can trigger the second, which cannot be
"self-initiated". For example, to ignite the tip of a match you have to rub
it (friction), and electric sparks can initiate combustion (a lightning bolt
on a piece of wood, for example).

It is also worth mentioning
that Saturn has the fastest rotation speed of all three Planets of Synthesis
(and is only second to
Jupiter in the solar
system), and higher rotation means increased friction. And, according to
traditional astrology, Uranus rules over electricity.

The Ra Material, one of a small number of sources of "channeled" psychic
information that I consider to be very highly reliable, says that a "negative
Ascension" can happen if a person is above 95 percent polarized towards service
to self, with hardly any care for others whatsoever. This comes about by
essentially becoming a killer of thousands upon thousands of people and
tirelessly working for selfish, greedy and manipulative ends of the most
extreme possible sort. According to Ra, the fourth and fifth dimensions can
indeed have negative entities, but once you arrive at the sixth it is impossible
not to become positively polarized. You fully reunite with the One at the
end of the seventh density, passing into the Octave, or the Oneness of the
All. More on the Ra Material, including excerpts, can be found at
www.llresearch.org.]

[As a further note, pay attention to the reference to the gladiators leaving
their cages. This is an obviously direct parallel between the United States
and Rome. This point was elaborated upon greatly in the following reading
after this one, which occurred the next night. The readings seem to be saying
that the United States must fall in a similar matter as Rome once did.]

For it is said that with these changes come the advent of peace. What
we don't want is a repeat of the Northridge earthquake, and / or the Three
Mile Island scenario. Phrased in common terms, it could be thought of as
a travesty, as a traffic ticket left unpaid for, an account with the Divine
that needs to be brought to zero balance. Nations against nations will not
deflect the truth of each one of you as a being. Rather, see this as an
opportunity to express your own creaturehood on a massive scale.

[Note: In the early part of the above paragraph, what they are saying
is that another event like Three Mile Island, Chernobyl or the Northridge
quake could occur again, for the specific purpose of balancing out what we
are creating here on the planet. This is obviously some very serious stuff
for them to be saying, as it will involve major or epic-sized Earth Changes.
The further implications are that both the events they listed were created
by Higher Intelligence in order to balance our planetary karma, created by
the negative actions of our governments. The point was made even clearer
in the reading given on the night after this one.]

Your governments are simply fulfilling the promises made by each of you.
Step beyond hearsay, and into a fully direct visual manifestation of what
it is that hides within you in the lurking dark recesses of the mind that
have not been acknowledged by most of you. It is largely psychological warfare
in many of these cases, as such foreign policy arrangements do not presuppose
the necessity of peace to arrive first instead of last. And yet now in Central
Europe, conditions are taking action that will inevitably lead to further
conditions of taking action.

We do see that there is a renewed possibility for the more unfortunate
probability vortices to be made manifest in the present circumstances. However,
understand that this is only indicative of the advancing speed and frequency
of the planetary vibrations. It should not be viewed as an object of immense
fear. When we delve into the broken areas in the tissues of the collective
human organism, we must first diagnose the problem before we can operate
on a level of finding a solution. As tonight's dream so aptly illustrated,
it is necessary for each of us to stop playing our respective roles - in
this case the vampire, the werewolf, et cetera, and instead embrace each
other in the common bond of Mutually Assured Trust.

There is little time left for us to make these statements, as in the most
severe probability vortices, the aftershock of these rapidly expanding events
will be seen quite sooner than one had imagined. What do we mean by that?
Simply this. The infrastructure cannot hold up when the pigeons start being
fed to the people. You cannot have six of one and half a dozen of the other,
and then have both measurements end up being obsolete when you are providing
a tray for your enemies as well.

[Note: Here they appear to be using the metaphor of Psalms 23:5, which
says, "Thou preparest a table before mine enemies " indicating peace.
I believe that the point of this very cryptic paragraph is to suggest that
this war could produce a very sudden economic collapse that could severely
deplete the food supply. Although this might not be the strongest possibility
for our future, they are indeed telling us that the probability exists. Currently
the US also sends food abroad in vast numbers, and this could only make the
problem even worse - the question of either starving their own people or
starving everyone else. Stock up, folks!]

Behind the outdoor garden fence, there lies a vista of awareness that
is being shattered in the present moment by those who would seek to dampen
its waters. Although there are many of you on this planet who are indeed
aware of the expanding consciousness that is now occurring, these events
of warfare do help to show you that there is another aspect to the story
as well.

[Note: Remember that the garden is another frequent metaphor for Harvest
or Ascension, often used in the Bible. This entirely new realm that we will
be traveling into very shortly is the "vista of awareness" that they are
speaking of.]

Richard Hoaglands Monuments of Mars (1990) documents how a simple
four-sided pyramid known as a tetrahedron, when sized to fit perfectly inside
a planetary sphere, will determine the most energetically active areas on
a planet. The most obvious signs of this activity are the geometrically
positioned Great Red Spot on Jupiter and the Great Dark Spot on Neptune.

Heliophysicists have discovered that the Sun has an octopolar
magnetic field. Such a field maps out all the coordinate points for an
octahedron, which looks like two Egyptian pyramids connected base-to-base.
There are four evenly-spaced points along the equator of the Sun that are
known to emit showers of charged energy particles like a
slowly-rotating lawn sprinkler. Four times each month, the Earth passes through
another wave of these particles, which are either positively or negatively
charged. If you connect the dots between the four points of this energetic
emergence along the Suns equator and its north and south pole, the
octahedron becomes apparent  and we can see there is energy streaming
out of all of its points.

The lines of the geometric forms define areas with a lower degree of pressure
than their surroundings, and thus higher pressures quite naturally rush out
through these areas, much as we see in the points along the Suns equator
or in the Great Red Spot of Jupiter. The fluid, in the case of
the Universe, is a non-physical energy medium that we call the
aether. Our Convergence series, especially the third volume,
gives definitive proof of its existence and fluidlike properties.

In the geometry of vibration, all loose materials are caught up in the
flowing pressure currents to collect at the points and lines of a geometric
form. This is similar to how iron filings can be made to line up with the
field lines of a magnet, thus making the geometry of the magnetic field visible.
Another way of showing this effect is by spreading an even layer of sand
over a large drumhead and then striking the drum in the middle  the
sand will form into geometrically-spaced piles near the rim of the head.
Sometimes lines are visible as well.

A report, published in the journal Science (March 27, 1998, pg. 2089)
by seismologist Mr. Naoki Suda et al, stated that he and his team had found
evidence that had showed Earth to be in a constant state of oscillation.
He reported that the frequencies involved were between 2-7 mhz. (.002 - .007
Hz.) If you convert this 2 mhz to a wavelength, it equals 93,141,000 miles,
which by coincidence is also close to the mean orbital radius of planet Earth
[i.e. Earths distance from the Sun.] This spectrum of frequencies also
covers 2 of the Suns resonant pulse wavelengths. (Solar Dia. x 2^5
= 27,680,000 miles, 6.7 mhz and Solar Dia x 2^6 = 55,360,000 miles, 3.3 mhz.)
The same two frequencies are involved in the spacing of Earth from Venus
(.3 AU) and Earth from Mars (.6 AU.)

Lets take a leap here and suppose that one of a planets resonant
frequencies is equal to its mean orbital radius and that it radiates this
reflection wave into the interplanetary plasma. Could other evidence be found
that could support this idea?

If we look towards the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter, and
its orbit around the Sun, we see that it affects two groups of asteroids
known as the Trojans. [These groups] are 60 degrees in front and [60 degrees]
behind [the orbital position of] Jupiter. (If you draw a straight line from
the Sun to Jupiter and go at a 60-degree angle from the Sun to the point
where it intersects with Jupiters orbit, [you find the Trojans on either
end.]) As we know, a triangles internal angles must equal 180 degrees.
If you draw a straight line from the Sun to [either of] the Trojans, then
to Jupiter and back to the Sun, it forms a perfect equilateral triangle with
3 internal angles of 60 degrees. This all means that the Trojans are as far
from Jupiter as Jupiter is from the Sun: 483.3 million miles.

The first point above shows us that the behavior of the Earth, in terms
of its own rate of harmonic pulsation, is intimately connected with its distance
from the Sun. This can only be possible with a quantum medium
that exists between them in space. Then, the triangle formation
that Stoneking mentioned between Jupiter, the Sun and the Trojan asteroids
suggests that geometric forces are at work in the energy fields we are
discussing, which falls in line holographically with what we have observed
at the quantum level.

A special issue of Scientific American devoted to the Cosmos shows that
the magnetic field of Jupiter is larger than the sun. Even though these magnetic
effects do not apparently hold sway in three dimensions, we cannot automatically
assume that there are not higher  dimensional effects involved. It
will become clear in following chapters that a planetary magnetic field is
far more than a simple question of north and south; it could be likened unto
a gigantic, geometric crystal of hyperdimensional energy, interwoven with
its planetary counterparts in a giant web

Although apocalyptic prognosticators get excited
about big conjunctions, like the one approaching in Taurus on May 5, 2000,
these have historically been markers of a changing of the guard, rather than
precipitators of actual events. The conjunction is classically the mark of
the end of one cycle and the start of another. The massive "Super Conjunction"
of February, 1962 was an example of this. Not much happened on the conjunction
itself, but within 18 months, John Kennedy was shot, then the war in Vietnam
escalated and soon, people were walking on the Moon. The Grand Cross is,
instead, a configuration found in the middle of the cycle; the power point
of the cycle.

The likes of the configuration that will be occurring in August of 1999
has not been seen in recent times. There was a weaker version of this
configuration on January 11, 1910. This was in cardinal signs and included
7 major planets and 1 of the asteroids. The Grand Cross is part of a "crossing
over" to a new era or age. It is to be noted that the first air transportation
service, utilizing dirigibles in Germany, was established on this date. It
is easy to see how the advances in technology transformed the world from
a horse-and-buggy condition to the high-tech world we live in now. The Grand
Cross coming this next August is much more powerful and features 9 major
planets, the Moon's nodes, Chiron and 2 of the 4 asteroids in fixed signs.
It will take someone with more sophisticated computer software than I have
to research how long it has been since this configuration was last seen.
It will affect everyone and everything. The Grand Cross can occur in any
of 3 modes; cardinal, fixed or mutable. These correspond to the 3 gunas of
the Vedas or rajas, tamas or sattva. This one is in the tamasic, or fixed
signs. These are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. The fixed signs have
long been recognized as crucial in the experience of mankind. The Sphinx
is a composite of the fixed cross. It has the head of a man (Aquarius), the
front paws of a lion (Leo), the body and rump of a bull (Taurus) and the
wings of an eagle (Scorpio).

Here is the lineup:

In the earth sign of Taurus, we have Jupiter and Saturn. These two giants
classically rule the everyday, down-to-earth concerns of society. The stock
market, housing, crop abundance or failure, money and the sense of comfort
or anxiety over these things are under the influence of Jupiter and Saturn.
In the Grand Cross, they represent the Earth and her relationship to humanity.
All of the planets can operate in positive or negative ways. Here we have
either the reverence for Mother Earth and her resources or the final destruction
of plant and animal species, the fouling of air and water and, possibly,
Her revolt against this disrespect.

Opposite these two, in the water sign of Scorpio, we have the Moon, Mars,
Chiron and the asteroid Juno. Here we see the pressures brought about by
the New World Order. The police state. Repression, control, the wounded psyche
of a frustrated, confined society in fear over crime, change, and the reluctance
to part with the "old way" of doing most everything. Even though this may
be the area that precipitates the crisis envisioned by this planetary
configuration, there is the least amount of staying power here. It may be
that some action by the ruling elite will trigger the situation, but there
is little here to sustain it. On a positive note, here we have the courage
to pour forth energy and healing from the millions of light workers out there,
and the inclination to step forward to teach and heal those who are feeling
fright and suffering.

The Important 5040 Cycle

Now then, we come to "a very difficult point," as some of our friends
are always saying! The ancients in my judgment knew of the planets Uranus
and Neptune, but they did not include them in their astronomical works. We
Theosophists know why. It would be extremely interesting, but it would take
me a week to explain this why. I will merely add that all these astronomical
ages -which is what these Hindu yugas are -- all these astronomical cycles
and key-figures, are based on the calculated key-numbers of Jupiter and Saturn,
12 and 30, as factors. Yet a very interesting fact comes forth. How many
Jupiter-years does the planet Uranus contain? I mean, one year of Uranus
comprehends or includes how many Jupiter-years? 7, practically exactly. How
many Jupiter-years does the planet Neptune contain, in other words one
Neptune-year? 14 Jupiter-years. If you are following these thoughts carefully,
the conviction will grow upon you that the periodic times of all the planets
are time-connected, connected by time-periods; and my own conviction is,
although I never have had time to work this thing out, that some Theosophical
mathematical 'sharp' could go ahead and even find that the planets Uranus
and Neptune would be included in still larger time-cycles.

One of the most important cycles mentioned even by Plato in his Dialog
called The Laws is 5040 years. This figure is remarkable for several features,
amongst which is that it is divisible by 58 different divisors among which
are the key-numbers I have been speaking of this evening, to wit 5, 6, 12,
30, 60, and of course 36, 72, and 360; but what is noteworthy about this
cycle of 5040 is that it is likewise divisible by 7, giving us the quotient
720 -- in which we see the key-number 72 again, x 10.

Furthermore, this figure of 5040 is arrived at by multiplying by each
other the simple arithmetical series of the first seven digits taken in order,
to wit: 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 = 5040. This remarkable number or cycle,
so specifically mentioned by Plato in another connexion, was of course known
to the ancient astronomers, astrologers, and mathematicians; and by using
this figure or cycle, we find that the year-period of every planet, whether
the 7 sacred planets known to the ancients, or those including the others
supposedly unknown to the ancients, to wit, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, used
as a divisor will divide into 5040 without remainder. In other words, 5040
is a cycle which contains the planetary years of all the planets in the solar
system, and thus links them up through having as one of its factors the number
7 -- a most interesting fact, and one worthy of study.

WASHINGTON (AP) - It was like watching an autopsy on a comet. Comet Linear,
falling toward the sun last summer, peeled off layer after layer, revealing
its structure and composition to astronomers watching with some of the world's
most powerful telescopes.

The half-mile-wide comet shed mountain-sized chunks of rock and vaporized
tons of ice as it shattered and then disintegrated during a final plunge
into the sun, said Hal Weaver, a Johns Hopkins University astronomer and
co-author of a study appearing Friday in the journal Science.

``We think watching it come apart was a lot like seeing how the comet
was put together in the first place, played in reverse,'' said Weaver, leader
of an astronomy team that observed the comet.

Weaver said an analysis of Linear's breakup supports the idea that comets
may have supplied a primitive Earth with the water and organic chemicals
to form life.

He said study of three other comets, Halley, Hale-Bopp and Hyakutake,
had cast doubt on the comets' role because the chemistry of water on those
objects was different from that of the Earth's oceans.

But the characteristics of Linear's breakup suggest it had a different
water chemistry, Weaver said. ``This is the type of comet that could have
done the job'' of providing Earth with the water and organic chemicals needed
for life, he said.

Linear's breakup originally was estimated to be about a half-mile across
in size and contain some 660 billion pounds of ice. Measurements of the debris,
however, can account for only small percentage of the rocky material and
for only about 7.2 billion pounds of the ice, Weaver said.

``If you add up the many pieces that broke off, you come out way short
of the original mass estimate,'' he said. ``So there is some missing matter
here.''

While astronomers do not know what caused the breakup, Weaver said the
comet's fragility surprised them.

``The forces that took it apart were gentle,'' he said. ``It was not like
there was a stick of dynamite that blew it apart. The forces were not that
powerful.''

This supports the traditional view that comets may be ``cosmic rubble''
piles that are only loosely held together, he said.

Researchers also were surprised at the ratio of ice to dust and rock in
Linear. Since the 1950s, astronomers have believed comets were ``dirty
snowballs,'' objects that were about half ice and half dusty rocks.

Weaver said the analysis of Linear suggests that it had about 100 times
more solid rock and dust than ice.

``Comet Linear was more like an icy dirtball than a dirty snowball,''
he said.

Astronomers also noted that the ice vaporized at much higher temperatures
than expected. This suggests the comet formed closer to the sun, perhaps
around the orbit of Jupiter, Weaver said. Most comets are thought to have
formed on the distant fringes of the solar system, where temperatures are
much colder.

Weaver said that comets formed nearer the sun are more apt to contain
frozen water whose chemical composition more closely resembles that of the
Earth's oceans. This would support the theory that comets supplied much of
the planet's water, he said.

Staff Writer Russian scientists warned this week that life as we know
it could end as early as Monday, if any one of the massive asteroids whizzing
through the cosmos should happen to be making a beeline for Earth.

"There is a threat to humanity," said Vadim Simonenko, deputy head of
the Institute of Technical Physics.

Simonenko was among the impressive array of experts attending a news
conference with a title straight from a 1950s B-movie: "Asteroid Danger:
How to Save the Earth From Cosmic Catastrophe."

The conference, held Thursday at the House of Journalists, brought together
astronomers, physicists and nuclear experts to urge global cooperation in
saving the world from a devastating asteroid collision that could leave millions
dead or even wipe out civilization entirely.

With asteroids measuring up to 10 kilometers in diameter and traveling
at speeds of up to 20,000 kilometers an hour, Earth would stand little chance
if it was hit by a big one.

The Thursday gathering  including Simonenko, whose institute is
a part of the Russian Nuclear Center  called for the organization of
a world body to scour space for incoming objects and destroy any potentially
dangerous flying objects with nuclear missiles.

In the case that preemptive measures fail, the citizens of the world should
be prepared to relocate to the moon, the scientists added.

"After a collision with one of these asteroids, there'll be only fragments
left of Earth," said Alexander Bagrov, senior scientist at the Institute
of Astronomy.

Bagrov added that current technology allows experts to detect incoming
objects no earlier than three days ahead of time  hence the suggestion
that the day of reckoning may come as early as Monday.

Bagrov, a tall, thin balding man with a moonlike face, led the rallying
cry of the doom-mongers, telling grim tales of other planets done in by
asteroids.

Five billion years ago, he said, the planet Phaeton  located between
Mars and Jupiter, the area where the orbit of most asteroids lie  exploded
into millions of bits after being hit by an asteroid 1,000 meters wide.

"And [Phaeton] was many times bigger than Earth," Bagrov warned. "After
a collision with one of these asteroids there'd by only fragments left of
Earth."

The asteroid that destroyed Phaeton also went on to cause the demise of
life on Mars, when one of the fragments of the shattered planet whacked into
Mars, causing it to sink into a grim nuclear winter that killed all life
forms and turned it the bright red color it is today.

The only trace of life left on Mars is a "face with tears on its cheek"
visible on the planet's surface, Bragov said.

Comets and asteroids have been slamming into Earth since time began. A
huge asteroid that hit the planet 65 million years ago is believed to have
killed off the dinosaurs.

But it has only been in the last 10 to 20 years that scientists have started
to seriously consider the threat that asteroids, comets and other so-called
NEOs, or Near Earth Objects, potentially pose to contemporary civilization.

"Ten years ago it was thought fantastic," Simonenko said of the concept
that life on Earth could be wiped out by a NEO hit.

Everything changed, however, when an American scientist proved that a
huge crater in the state of Arizona was caused by a meteorite and not, as
previously thought, by volcanic activity.

Scientists now agree that there are millions of asteroids out there that
have a chance of hitting the Earth.

If an object of more than 10 kilometers in diameter hits the Earth then
there's not much chance of anyone surviving, according to a British task
force that earlier this year published research on NEOs. Luckily, the chance
of that happening is about once every hundred million years, the research
said.

More dangerous are smaller objects of one kilometer or more which could
destroy cities, change the climate and cause huge tidal waves all over the
Earth.

There are roughly 1,000 such asteroids, roughly half of which have been
identified as unlikely to strike the Earth.

An ongoing project at NASA hopes to identify an additional 40 percent
of the asteroids within the next decade.

Even smaller objects  those under a kilometer  would still
cause devastation equivalent to a number of nuclear bombs, but few of these
have been detected.

Russia has already been hit by two large asteroids in the last 100 years.

In 1908 an asteroid crashed into Tunguska, a remote area of Siberia, causing
devastation across an area the size of London.

Nearly 40 years later another asteroid hit Sikote-Alin, also in Siberia,
smashing more than a hundred craters into the land.

If one of these asteroids had hit a city then millions of people would
have died.

Alone, Russia has little funding to devote to NEO studies.

According to Anatoly Zaitsev, the head engineer at the Scientific Production
Association, a manufacturer of satellites, an international body is needed
to track all flying objects and act quickly with nuclear missiles if needed.

Zaitsev said that there is also a need to discuss the practical and moral
problems associated with NEO vigilance.

Do you really want to tell the citizens of Perm that a meteorite is headed
for their town square, he wondered, pointing to the rash of suicides and
general panic caused two years ago in the United States when the Haley-Bop
comet came unusually close to Earth.

If the big one does come, Zaitsev added, people should be prepared to
evacuate the planet  potentially relocating to the moon.

I am a little concerned and suspicious about this Anthrax vaccination
that the Pentagon has ordered to be used for all 1.4 million active duty
men and women in the U.S. military (involving six shots taken over 18 months),
reportedly because of the possibility of germ warfare. First, the possibility
that the vaccines used in the Gulf War contributed to the controversial Gulf
Ware Syndrome is not ruled out - so it's possible that this Anthrax vaccine
will cause more soldiers to be sick and the illness might even spread into
the general public. While this is just a possibility, what I noticed that
may add to the speculation is its possible symbolic connection to the "Elysian
Fields" model I developed. In the model, there is a
rivalry between 'Saturn', the original ruler (of Earth), and 'Jupiter' (and
'Mars'/'Venus' to some extent), the "intruder", which overthrew Saturn -
and this has to do with "ETs" (mainly the "Jupiter"-related factions) interfering
in Earth affairs resulting in "contamination" of human DNA and/or spirituality.
And I also illustrated in 'The Elysian Fields' that the model, in conjunction
with the implications of the Nile, seems to be 'followed' in various symbolic
ways repeatedly in history. Now, the fact that the decision about
the Anthrax vaccination announced in mid-December came just before the period
called 'Saturnalia' (which is thought to have evolved into our Christmas)
which is from Dec. 17 through 23, PLUS the fact that the big (currently #1)
movie, "Titanic" (mythologically, Saturn was the most important of the Titans
- the first gods), opened Dec. 19 - right in the middle of Saturnalia - and
in which 'Titanic', the Saturn force, hits an obstacle and sinks, made me
think that all this may be one of those ritualistic, symbolic events
'planted'/orchestrated ultimately by "the Cabal" (the hidden puppeteers).
The sequence and the timing of those events appear to depict the motif of
Jupiter-related faction overthrowing 'Saturn' (represented by Titanic sinking)
through or resulting in 'contamination' (which seems to be represented by
the Anthrax vaccine in this case). It is also interesting that the Titanic
was on its voyage to the United States (NYC) from England, because in 'The
Elysian Fields' I symbolically associated England with 'Saturn', and U.S.
represented a "New World" / Earth that came to be controlled by the
Jupiter-related faction(s) - thus the Titanic sinking and failing to get
to the United States nicely depict the "Saturn" faction losing control over
Earth symbolically.

So, in this symbolic context, I feel it may not be too farfetched to
hypothesize that the Anthrax vaccination stuff represents the 'contamination'
aspect of the mythological 'drama'/pattern

Q: What are some of the effects on planet Earth if an asteroid - the 1950
DA or a much larger one - were to hit planet Earth?

A: Something the size of 1950 DA (1.1 kilometers) moving at its encounter
velocity of 14.25 kilometers per second would have 100,000 megatons of energy
to dissipate upon impact. The crater would be about 10-20 kilometers wide.
Molten material would be ejected, perhaps to temporarily orbit the Earth,
then reenter and trigger fires around the world. If it hit in water, the
tidal wave would inundate most adjoining coastal areas. Dust and steam would
be injected into the atmosphere for some period of time.

Q: Have the studies regarding asteroids and other objects hitting Earth
indicated that as the years go by, they are getting closer and closer to
actually hitting Earth?

A: No. Each asteroid's path through space is different, and there is no
tendency for them to all get closer to the Earth. Most asteroids are in the
belt between Mars and Jupiter. They will remain there for hundreds of millions
of years or more and never come anywhere near the Earth.

Q: Have most scientists, including you personally, now concluded that
asteroids killed off the dinosaurs? If not that, what did in your opinion?

A: Many have, because of the suddenness of their disappearance, the presence
of the iridium layer in the rock laid down at the time - iridium normally
being more common in asteroidal material - and the discovery of a large impact
crater off the Yucatan peninsula that seems to have been created at the same
time the dinosaurs disappeared and was made by an object large enough - more
than 10 times larger than 1950 DA - to have caused the global extinctions
that evidently occurred. That said, one shouldn't close one's mind to other
possibilities if there is evidence to support them, or there is an explanation
that better fits the evidence we have. But the conclusion regarding the dinosaurs
is reasonable.

Q: Can an asteroid potentially destroy or seriously damage any of the
nine planets, including Earth, in the solar system?

A: An asteroid or comet could make the surface of the Earth very difficult
for life. But if you mean "shatter" a planet, then no, there are no known
asteroids big enough or moving in such a way that that could happen. Events
like that may have happened during the formation of the solar system and
the Earth's moon billions of years ago, but not now.

Q: What are some of the current studies, or future ones, that you plan
to work on?

A: We observe three or four asteroids with radar every month. This weekend,
we have an asteroid called 1999 GU3 scheduled. Earlier this week, asteroid
2002 FD6 went past and was observed using the Goldstone planetary radar.

GLOBAL SHIFTINGS - ACCORDING TO THE MAYAN CALENDAR

THE ULTIMATE SECRET OF THE MAYAN CALENDAR AN IMPLODING CYCLE OF ENERGY
INCREASE, CULMINATING IN 2012-13 AD

David Wilcock,

Research Director

March 2, 2002

With the work of Dr. S.V. Smelyakov and Y. Karpenko on the Mayan Calendar
[6], we may well have the "smoking gun" to prove scientifically that a
fundamental energetic change is occurring throughout the entire Solar System
at this time, fostering a crucial link between the local effects on the Sun,
Earth and other planets and the effects upon the consciousness of humanity.
Since distant ancient times, all of these prophesied changes have been associated
with the culmination of a 25,920-year master cycle known as "precession".
In Shift of the Ages [10], we demonstrate how this cycle can be seen in the
long-term activity of the Sun [3] as well as the rotation of the Earth's
axis. We also show how the Mayan Calendar cycle, at 5,125 years in length,
is exactly one-fifth of the precession. [10] John Major Jenkins, one of the
speakers at our upcoming event in Louisville, KY on April 26-28, 2002, has
demonstrated that on Dec. 21, 2012, the end-date for this cycle, the long-term
"precessional" orientation of the Earth's axis is perfectly aligned with
the center of the galaxy. [4] And now, Dr. Smelyakov et al. have added dramatic
new evidence to the case in their paper entitled "The Auric Time Scale and
the Mayan Calendar." [6] This article you are now reading is the very first
account of this groundbreaking study to be published worldwide, other than
the paper itself, which has remained completely obscure from the Internet-based
metaphysical culture at large. This is almost certainly due to its degree
of sophistication, making it almost indecipherable to those not educated
in physics and mathematics.

Smelyakov's discovery is based on his earlier investigations of the ratio
known as "phi" or the Golden Section and how it unifies and correlates the
following phenomena [6]:

all the fundamental phenomena in biology (cell and physiological
rhythms)

cyclical events in botany (vegetative cycles, etc.)

cycles in zoology (counts of head of livestock, number of fishes caught,
etc.)

meteorological cycles of the weather

the physics of the movements of the Sun and the Earth

the ebb and flow of human emotion as seen in financial market activities
(Kondratiev cycle [2] and others)

Those who have studied sacred geometry or read my books and / or others
on the subject are well aware of the importance of the phi ratio, which has
a value of 1.6180339. This ratio can be easily seen in the relationships
between common "Diatonic" musical frequencies as well as the natural proportions
of growing bacteria clusters, plant life, animal life and the human body.
When drawn geometrically, it appears as the classic spiral shape that we
so often see on the seashells at the beach. Furthermore, the importance of
phi was enshrined in many ancient structures throughout the world. As a ratio,
it perfectly balances the forces of expansion and contraction, which can
be demonstrated geometrically or mathematically, and its connection to music
shows that it is a fundamental characteristic of the behavior of vibration.
[10, 11]

Smelyakov and others assert that the vibrations of phi actually ripple
through the very "fabric" of time and space itself, due to its innate harmonic
characteristics. In our upcoming book The Divine Cosmos, we explain how Russian
scientists have determined that what we call "space" is not empty, but is
rather filled with an energetic medium that Nikola Tesla suggested "behaves
as a liquid to solid bodies, and as a solid to light and heat." The mysteries
of the Universe, all the way from the "flat" formation of the known Universe
to the anomalies of galaxy formation, the structure and function of our Solar
System and even the world of quantum physics can all be unified together
in a single, coherent model once we reintroduce this medium, which the ancient
Greeks referred to as "aether." As seen in our second book Convergence III
[11], many further mysteries of consciousness, life and the existence of
"psychic" phenomena are explained by aether-based models as well, and the
above list of "phi"-related cycles certainly adds to what we know that the
research has already determined.

If we were to vibrate a fluid, then we would see wavelengths appear with
the simple phi relationship occurring between them. Similarly, the phi
relationship can be observed in the Universe, such as in the cycles of our
Solar System. It appears that we have "ripples" of energy in our Galaxy that
we move through in set intervals of time which are based on phi and which
the Mayans were well aware of [10, 11], as we shall see in this article.
Smelyakov has determined that our entire Solar System operates in a unified,
harmonic fashion that he terms "the Solar-Planetary Synchronism," (SPS,)
and its values are all related to each other by the phi ratio. This work
allows us to predict the exact orbit of a hypothetical planet "Proserpine"
past Pluto as ~510.9 years in length [6], as well as unifying the movements
of the Asteroid Belt and the various cycles of solar activity with all other
known harmonics (orbits) in the Solar System. Furthermore, as we said, the
same cycles can be shown to affect human life and the movement of economic
trends as well.

These connections between various celestial and terrestrial cycles are
discovered by taking a basic time unit and then expanding or contracting
it by various exponential powers of phi, where phi^0 is equal to 1, phi^1
is the classic ratio of 1.6180339 and phi^-1 is .618. Overall, Smelyakov
calls the various powers of phi the "Auric series," and assigns this series
the letter F. Thus, F is a geometric progression as follows: F = { phi^-2,
phi^-1, phi^0, phi^1, phi^2, }, and this cycle can potentially expand
infinitely in either the negative or positive direction.

So, to see this Solar-Planetary Synchronism in action, we begin by taking
a given cycle in our Solar System and assign it to the center of the Auric
series at phi^0. One example would be to take one Earth year for this basic
cycle. If we were to do so, we then discover that phi^5 is 11.089, which
is very close to the established value of 11.07 Earth years for the basic
"sunspot cycle." This example shows us that the standard 11-year sunspot
cycle is what Smelyakov would call the "fifth phi-harmonic" of the Earth's
orbit. Obviously, most people would not expect there to be any connection
between these two cycles, since the Sun and the planets are supposedly
"separate." In the new model, they are very much integrated by the "aether."
[11] This is but one of many examples that show how our Solar System works
as a miraculously unified system, but in mainstream physics models that exclude
the existence of an "aether," these connections are left unseen or ignored.

Smelyakov explains that most of the "phi-harmonics" that can be found
in the Solar System are based on either the Earth's orbit of 1 year or the
basic Sunspot cycle of 11.07 years. [6] Either of these cycles can be used
as the central point upon which to calculate the harmonics of phi. When this
is done, Smelyakov says that by taking various powers of phi or various powers
of 2 x phi from these "seed" cycles of time, we get "most known basic periods
in Nature and society from biology to geology, including economical cycles."
[6]

Dr. Smelyakov's literally Earth-shaking discovery involving the Mayan
Calendar cycle was found by a process similar to the above, where a given
time cycle with a given start date is then divided into "a sequence of intervals
[within it that have a] duration decreasing [by phi.]" Here, it is important
to remember that the entire cycle decreases to a certain final moment at
the end of the cycle. Even though the "phi"-based series F can theoretically
extend infinitely in either direction, when you are dealing with a series
that is exponentially decreasing in duration, the cycle does converge on
one end-point, simply representing smaller and smaller intervals of time
in that moment. This would be the same as how the central point of the spiral
on a seashell is theoretically infinite in its imploding "recursiveness,"
yet you nevertheless can clearly define where the end of the seashell's spiral
is.

What Smelyakov then did was to apply the "Auric series" F on the Mayan
Calendar cycle. In doing so, that infinitely-converging end point would cluster
around the Dec. 21, 2012 date. [6] Once this is done, we see that this imploding
"phi" cycle has clear effects on celestial objects in interplanetary space
and the behavior of lifeforms in time -- and this might explain why the Mayans
stated that "time would collapse" at the end of their Calendar cycle. [3,
4] These connections have previously been intuitively suggested and explored
by the late Terence McKenna in the "Timewave Zero" model, but there is still
controversy over whether his discoveries are indeed scientifically sound.
With Smelyakov's additions, any remaining mystery is cleared away and a far
more discrete, verifiable model is introduced to support the basic premise
of an "imploding cycle" centering around 2012-2013.

As we said, typically Smelyakov would take the value of the Earth's orbit
at 1 year or the value of the Sunspot cycle at 11.07 years and then plug
it into the center of the Auric series [phi^0] to locate other cycles. With
the Mayan Calendar, the same process was performed, except that the total
length of the Mayan Calendar at 5,125.3661 years was used as the central
time unit for the Auric series, and the various "harmonics" of phi, in years,
were then calculated. The commonly-agreed start time of August 6-13, 3113
BC was used as the origin of the cycle. And indeed, Smelyakov found "abrupt
world-wide changes" at each of the cycle hit-points that were determined
by this system. [6] The overall set of categories that Smelyakov correlated
to the Auric series are as follows:

The coming of Great Teachers of humanity, as well as outstanding philosophers
and scientists;

The originations of calendars (as systems for measuring Time/Space);

Demographic trends (specified by the population of China as an indicator
of world trends);

The formation and interaction of worldwide religious/philosophical systems
and States.

At the end of this paper, we shall see the integration of these categories
in the excerpted Table 10 from Smelyakov's work, detailing what occurs in
each "cycle hit point." Overall, we can see that we have a combination of
cataclysmic changes with overall effects in population, and in the quality
of spiritual consciousness of humanity as seen by the coming of great teachers,
philosophers and scientists as well as the formation and interaction of new
religious and philosophical systems. Thus, when a cycle that has demonstrable
connections to spiritual consciousness is then seen to converge in our near
future to an "Omega Point" of greatest energetic intensity, there is compelling
evidence that this event shall correspond to a major change in human
consciousness at large. [6] This would then appear to be the literal fulfillment
of the various prophecies of Ascension from many various spiritual traditions,
Christianity notwithstanding.

DEMOGRAPHICS

In order to give a complete background to the studies of history and neatly
show the overall ebb and flow of population levels and cultural centers,
Smelyakov focuses on the population [demographical] statistics for China,
since they have accurate census data that has remained unbroken for more
than 2,000 years. [6] Indeed, he found that all of the most important demographic
changes in China clustered quite precisely around the "hit points" as specified
by the Auric Series of the Mayan Calendar. The overall phases of civilization
as seen in the Auric cycle development include:

1. Prolonged processes of condensation of centers of civilization;

2. Relatively short periods of founding of new cultures in some of the
above centers;

3. Violent flourishing and expansion of the new cultures separated from
the "parents";

4. Rapid and unexpected decay and contracting or disappearing of the "parent"
civilizations.

Since these effects are already well-established, we can indeed expect
"a lot of global surprises" in socio-political arenas in the next few years.
Two "bifurcation points" of extreme change in 2003 and 2008 have been established
from ''s studies of more local cycles of planetary movement as well as the
statistically-estimated timing of the most significant population changes
in China. There is no doubt that dramatic changes have already come into
view since the publication of Smelyakov's work in 1999. The accuracy of his
cycle predictions are further enhanced by the fact that in December 2000,
he correctly pinpointed the Sept. 11th date (within a ten-day window surrounding
Sept. 16th) as an "extremely dangerous" time for humanity, associated with
airplane or other crashes, economic failures and warfare. [7, 8, 9] Even
the nations involved in the problem, including the USA, Israel and Afghanistan,
were included in is prediction, which was mentioned in The Mountain Astrologer
magazine. [5]

EARTHQUAKES

Smelyakov also demonstrates the correlation between the Auric Time Series
of the Mayan Calendar and major earthquakes. Prior to the 20th century, there
was no Richter scale for measurement, and the severity of a quake was only
mentioned by the number of deaths that it created. The National Earthquake
Information Center of Russia has listed the top 21 most destructive earthquakes
in the world from 856 AD to the present, and all of them occur during one
of the "cycle hit points." Furthermore, the "imploding" nature of the cycle
is seen by the fact that out of a total of 21 earthquakes, fully 9 of them
occurred in the 20th century. [6] This strongly suggests that conventional
methods of earthquake prediction and analysis need to be abandoned and a
more unified "aetheric" view considered. [11]

CONCLUSION

Dr. Smelyakov et al.'s study shows that the Mayan Calendar, once properly
understood, is not seen as simply a linear cycle of time but also as a focal
point for an exponential "imploding" cycle of time based on phi. [6] Based
on our upcoming published research, we feel that this cycle delineates our
movement through areas of progressively higher aetheric vibration in the
Galaxy. Each time we move into a new layer where the vibration of the "zero-point
energy" medium of space increases, there are direct, dramatic physical
effects.

This cycle has directly caused the last three geomagnetic pole inversions
on Earth, a reliable succession of extremely powerful earthquakes and the
triggering of "supernova" star explosions in nearby areas of our own Galaxy.
[6] Almost every religious teaching in the world originated during one of
the cycle points, including Krishna, Vyasa, Zoroaster, Gautama Buddha, Fu-Si,
Lao-tzu, Confucius, Pythagoras, Plato et al. and Christianity. [6] Practically
all known ancient civilizations created calendars during these times as well,
including China, India, Iran, Babylon, Egypt, Maya, et cetera. [6] And now
with the work of Dr. Aleskey Dmitriev [1], we have also seen how the entire
Solar System is showing signs of an ever-increasing energetic charge.

It is utterly remarkable that the Maya would be able to encode this cycle
so clearly into their Calendar, with its connections not only to the linear
phenomenon of precession but to an exponential phenomenon based on "phi"
that has such clear energetic effects on both the material plane and the
arena of consciousness. It is even more remarkable that this cycle would
ratchet forward with ever-increasing intensity into the moment wherein the
Earth's precessional position is in perfect alignment with the center of
our Galaxy. [4] The mysteries of how and why all these cycles relate will
be unveiled and integrated in our upcoming final book, The Divine Cosmos.

By combining the effects of geo-cosmic change with the overall flourishing
of humanity in the cultural and spiritual sense, we see that as the cycle
continues to exponentially accelerate its energetic rate of vibration into
the 2012-2013 "singularity," we can expect ever-more rapid increases in human
awareness, leading up to a discontinuous mega-event where "time and space
collapse" as we know it. We believe that there is no reason to fear this
change, as what we are moving towards is a literal shift in the basic
characteristics of matter, energy and consciousness.

In our second article on this website entitled "A Scientific Blueprint
for Ascension," we have demonstrated a connection between these energetic
changes and the evolution of life on Earth. The work of Dr. Vladimir Poponin,
Dr. Glen Rein and others show us that our DNA is actually an energetic "field
effect" that appears to be an innate characteristic of the "vibrations" of
space-time now around us. As these outer energetic changes occur, there are
changes in life as well -- and as we demonstrated in Convergence III [11],
once these energy increases reach a critical threshold there is a literal
transformation of matter into a higher "density" or dimension of energy,
thus rendering it invisible to those in our own "third density" or dimension.
Though this seems quite impossible to believe, there are ample cases of human
disappearance and / or invisibility and other anomalous effects on matter
in the presence of high-intensity energetic fields. This includes "vortex"
effects such as those documented in the Bermuda and Devil's Triangles, as
well as lesser-known anomalies associated with tornadoes. [11]

From our research, it appears that the Ancients knew of this coming time
quite well, and referred to it as the dawning of a Golden Age for humanity,
the likes of which have never before been imagined. All of us are being given
an opportunity to experience a collective initiation, as Gregg Braden would
say, wherein we have the choice to move out of fear and into trust that the
prophecies given to us are indeed accurate. These prophecies include the
words of Jesus of Nazareth, who said, "As I do these things, so shall ye
do them, and greater things " [John 14:12.]

APPENDIX

The following is the complete contents of Table 10 from Smelyakov and
Karpenko's paper, detailing the exact nature of the various types of events
that have clustered at each point in the Mayan Calendar-based Auric Series.
[6] Further context and detail can be gained by downloading the complete
paper itself. The numbers that we see before each paragraph begin with the
number of the harmonic of phi in question, from -- 2 to 10, followed by the
estimated number for population in China at the time, represented as a figure
that indicates how many millions of people existed at the time. The third
number is a value as a year which shows the exact point where the population
spontaneously increased in size over a short period, based on the Chinese
census data. The final fourth number in bold is the actual date for the cycle
hit as calculated by the Auric Time Series. Certain special time periods
and / or the omissions of some of the numbers are all explained in Smelyakov's
paper, and for the sake of brevity we have not included these explanations.

[Note: It is remarkable to point out here that one of Dr. Smelyakov's
most serious Hale-Bopp time foci was for Sept. 16, 2001, +/- 5 days. This
data was published in The Mountain Astrologer magazine in the winter of 2000.
Smelyakov associated this period with "a series of events of extreme nature",
and suggested that the countries involved would include the USA, Balkans,
Central Europe, Moscow, India, Israel, Japan and Afghanistan. He indicated
that there would be marked splashes in mental collisions, political disorders
and military operations. The "splashes" that Smelyakov had referred to were
seen as air and space crashes, fires and other technogeneous catastrophes.
He made this prediction in the winter of 2000, saying that the time around
the 16th was "dangerous."]

Astronomical cycles do not fit neatly into whole-number counting systems
created by humans. For example, we must use decimals to express the tropical
year at approximately 365.2422 days, the lunation at about 29.5306 days,
or the average synodical revolution of Venus, which is 583.92 days. We tend
to assume that it is necessary to use fractions or decimal placement in order
to express these kinds of astronomical figures, but that is simply a prejudice
based on our familiarity with the Western method of counting. Long before
modern scientists gave us such "precise" measurements, the ancient Mesoamericans
evolved a numerical system that could handle most astronomical calculations;
in fact, all the planetary cycles could be incorporated within their intricate
calendrical system. They succeeded in bringing these cycles into relation
with one another and, most importantly for the Maya, into relation with their
sacred (astrological) calendar of 260 days. And they performed this astonishing
feat without any knowledge of fractions or the decimal system. No wonder
the Maya called their calendar "divine!"

The Mesoamericans, like all civilized peoples of the world, developed
and abided by a calendar based on the approximate length of the tropical
year (365 days). But they also used a second calendar unlike any other in
the world. Known variously as the tzolkin (Yucatec) or tonalpohaulli (Nahuatl),
it was 260 days in length, and served as an astrological almanac or sacred
calendar for all peoples of ancient Mesoamerica. It is even still in use
today in some parts of Mexico and Guatemala. This calendar guided the daily
rituals and cultural achievement of the people, but it also formed the basis
for interconnecting the various measurements of cyclical time.

Despite the importance of the 260-day calendar for ancient Mesoamericans,
no explanation has been generally accepted as to how, why, or exactly where
this time-keeping method began. One astronomer has suggested that its origin
was due to a 260-day span of time between zenith positions of the sun during
winter at the latitude of Mesoamerica (around 15 degrees North).[1] But this
theory credits a disproportionately large amount of influence to an incidental
measurement; it is rather like saying that most of the art, religion,
mathematics, and astronomy of an entire culture is based on the geographical
address of its capital -- on two days of the year. The theory also ignores
the mathematical genius of the Mayan people and their absolute dedication
to astro-numerology.

The fact is that the ancient Maya discovered a mathemagical key that linked
nearly every known astronomical cycle. With the number 260 and its component
divisors (13 x 20, 5 x 52, etc.), they could interconnect all the apparent
time sequences of observable celestial cycles -- solar, lunar, eclipse, Venus,
Mars, Mercury, even the cycle of precession. The 260-day calendar was used
to denote multiple interrelated systems; for example, it could be brought
into phase with the 365-day calendar once every 52 years, which was an important
cycle for the Maya. This period of 52 years is called the Calendar Round,
the hunab (Maya) or xiuhmolpilli (Nahautl).

In the Dresden Codex (one of the few surviving codices from ancient
Mesoamerica) are tables giving multiples of 780 days (260 x 3), which correlate
with the synodic period of Mars (779.936 days). Elsewhere in this codex is
a table with a base of 117 days, which is close to the synodic period of
Mercury (116 days) and is also connected to the rhythm of the 260-day calendar.

One of the great intellectual feats of the Mayan sky-watchers was the
construction of a table for predicting when solar eclipses might be visible.
This was accomplished without the knowledge that the sun crossing the moon's
path creates a solar eclipse (an event taking place every 173.31 days, called
the eclipse half-year), because supposedly the Maya did not know that the
earth revolved around the sun. Nevertheless, they calculated that three eclipse
half-years were approximately equal to two rounds of the 260-day sacred calendar
(3 x 173.31 days = 519.93 days). We know this from the Dresden Codex table
where 69 dates are given for solar eclipses that would occur during 33 years.[2]

The Maya observed that the synodical revolution of Venus averaged 584
days, but they wanted to incorporate this cycle into their 260-day calendar,
which was composed of twenty day-signs that had coefficients numbered one
to thirteen. The most significant day of Venus in the 260-day calendar was
1-Ahau, also called One Flower. The Maya wanted to know how many synodical
revolutions were necessary before Venus would reappear as a morning star
(the heliacal rising after inferior conjunction with the Sun) on the sacred
day 1-Ahau. They recognized that five synodic periods of Venus (approximately
584 days) corresponded to eight so-called Vague Years of 365 days, as well
as being close to 99 lunations. They figured out that, in 104 Vague Years
(two times the Calendar Round, which coordinates the 260-day count with the
Vague Year), there are 146 of the 260-day counts, 65 Venus periods, and 219
times the eclipse cycle. Thus,

2920 = 8 x 365 = 5 x 584

37,960 = 104 x 365 = 65 x 584 = 146 x 260 = 219 x 173.31

This was a neat solution, but astronomical measurements are much more
complex. Since the average synodic cycle of Venus is actually 583.92 days,
after 65 revolutions calculated at 584 days, there is an accumulated error
of 5.2 days. This means a gradual displacement of the true helical rising
of Venus at the start of the 104 Vague Year count from its official position,
the day One Flower in the 260-day count, so that the helical rising of Venus
would miss the predicted date by five days. How did the Mayans solve this
problem of drift?

In the Central Mexican codices that contain Venus tables, there are five
sections that present 65 Venus periods or 104 Vague years. The astronomer
John Teeple found that these tables contained indications of corrections,
made by subtracting a few days at the end of the 57th and 61st Venus periods.[3]
Making these alterations brought the final Mayan accuracy to an error of
only one day in 6000 years.

The duration of the solar year as determined by modern astronomy is
365.242191 days.[9] Analysis of monument dates and codices shows that the
Maya understood the tropical year to be 365.2422 days in length (they did
not express it in that form, of course, since they did not use fractions
or decimal places, but the indications are clear, as we shall see). This
amount is more astronomically accurate than the Gregorian calendar which
is currently in use (365.2425 days). The Mayan measurement contains an error
of one day in 6729 years, while the Gregorian calendar has an error of one
day in 3236 years. The Gregorian Calendar, adopted in 1582, was devised by
the Italian Luigi Lilio (Aloisius Lilius); he proposed the intercalation
of 97 days in 400 years (which amounts to an average year of 365.2425 days).
No one knows how this figure was derived.[10]

The Mesoamericans used sequences of additive numbers in their astronomical
calculations, as is apparent in their five-part Long Count dating system,
composed as follows. (Because 20 and 13 are involved, the great cycle can
also be expressed as 7200 tzolkin, so that the great cycle begins and ends
on the same name day, 4-Ahau, also called Four Flower.)

1 uinal = 20 days

1 tun = 18 uinal = 360 days

1 katun = 20 tuns = 7200 days

1 baktun = 20 katuns = 144,000 days

1 great cycle = 13 baktuns = 1,872,000 days (about 5125 years)

Note the use of the term "sequences of additive numbers," rather than
"multiples." There is a subtle difference here that may assist us in getting
into a Mesoamerican "headset." Multiplication is really a special form of
addition. "There is no evidence showing that the Maya ever used their notation
for multiplying numbers, or even that they ever multiplied two numbers, with
or without their notation."[16] Many important numbers of astronomical
significance can be created from additive functions. For example, if you
add the numbers one through twenty-seven, you get 378, the synodic period
of Saturn (in days). Adding one through 39 equals 780, the synodic period
of Mars. As we have seen, adding the numbers one through thirteen gives 91,
the number of days in a season.

One particularly important calculational value was the 819-day-count.[18]
In Classic Maya inscriptions, it was one of the ongoing cycles specified
by a Distance Number that was counted backwards to a particular tzolkin name
day that had a coefficient of one. Because 819 is divisible by 13, this
coefficient always remained the same. In Mayan hieroglyphics, there are "verb"
glyphs that usually accompanied such a count, such as the God K who was commonly
associated with the 819 count. According to some sources, God K was a rain
god, possibly related to Mercury. Another connection with the 819-day-count
was the period of forty days, symbolized in the texts by images of footprints.
In the mythological passage from the Chilam Balam of Chumayel called "The
Creation of the Uinal," there are images of footprints used to measure the
world,[19] and this period of 40 days (twice the uinal) is still called by
some modern Maya "one foot of the year."[20]

There is much evidence that multiples of 364 days, particularly 20 x 364,
were used by the Maya. The quantity 20 x 819 (or 45 x 364 = 16,380 days)
was also used. The 819 days is equivalent to three tzolkins (39 veintenas)
plus 39 days (or 20 x 41, minus one), which means it could function as a
"footstep." In 819 days, the trecena coefficient and that of the Lord of
the Night (a multiple of nine) remains the same, but the day name (and the
kin coefficient in the Long Count) drops by one.

One researcher[21] has noted that the Maya could have used the 819-day-count
as a means of tracking planetary positions, because the synodic periods of
the visible planets can be integrated thus:

819 = 780 (one Mars cycle) + 39 (or 3 x 13)

= 2 x 377 (one Saturn cycle) + 65 (or 5 x 13, or 1/4 of a tzolkin)

= 7 x 116 (one Mercury cycle) + 7

= 2 x 399 (one Jupiter cycle) + 21 (or 3 x 7)

Adding together these four equivalents of 819, we get several useful
calculational formulae:

819 x 4 = 364 x 9 = 63 x 13 = 117 x 7 = 21 x 39 = 13 x 7 x 9

We also note that 819 days can be linked to the cycle of Venus:

819 x 5 = 7 x 584 (one Venus cycle) + 7

And thus we see the value of the quantity 4 x 5 x 819 (or 20 x 819), which
brings the cycle of Venus into alignment with the other planetary cycles.
If we use 585, the Mayan calculational cycle of Venus, instead of 584, we
see even more exact connections. (584 days is technically the mean synodic
period; the cycle actually varies between 581 and 588)[22]

The discovery of the Law of Time defines the homeostasis of the
biopsychicfield of life the biosphere as the biomass constant. The telepathic
coordinationof the biomass constant is made possible through application
of the Lawof Time's 13:20 frequency instruments, the Thirteen Moon Calendar
and theTelektonon. Through the Rinri Project, the 13:20 frequency coordinationof
the biomass constant brings the holonomic topocosm's genetic memory psibank
into conscious manifestation. This is an event of supreme
evolutionarysignificance and augurs what is known as the biosphere-noosphere
transition,the advent of the planetary mind of fourth-dimensional telepathy.

The reality of the planetary mind of fourth-dimensional telepathy was
broughtinto being by the revelation of the 20 Tablets of the Law of Time.
In the 20 Tablets of the Law of Time , the noosphere is demonstratedin its
active form as the Chronosphere, the psi bank in motion, which establishesthe
perfection of the 832 weeks/832 DNA Codon permutations of the sixteenyear
Telektonon Cube of the Law, AD 1997-2013. The whole system definedby the
holonomic topocosm resonant field model of Earth Ascendingfinds a very precise
fulfillment in the 20 Tablets of the Law of Time. Theroots of the Rinri Project
and the 20 Tablets of the Law of Time are to be discovered in the holonomic
field maps of Earth Ascending

Holonomy, the investigation of the Law governing Whole Systems, statesthat
the whole is in the part, every part reflects the whole, every partis holy.
The tzolkin, thought of as the sacred calendar of the Maya, isthe foundation
of Earth Ascending . The binary triplet, the perfect52-unit pattern woven
through the Tzolkin grid, revealed to Tony Shearerby a Mexican shaman, is
demonstrated (Map 2) as nothing less than the cosmiccode itself, the matrix
of the psi bank.

Correlated with the sunspot cycles, the psi bank is shown to be a fieldof
eight tzolkins in four sets of two in inverse relation to each otherwhich
straddle the globe in tandem with the electromagnetic field.
Mathematicallyinterwoven into the field of four (x2 tzolkins) psi bank plates
is a 64-unitpattern whose weave defines the intricate structure of the 64
DNA code wordsas they are pulsed by the psi bank grid. This visualized
mathematical patternof 260 (x8 = 2080) unit timing grid over which is
superimposed the 64 unitDNA grid, constitutes the hitherto unknown evolving
memory bank of the biopsychicfield, pulsing its codes in accord with the
third field of resonance, thegravitational field. This, in essence, describes
the resonant field modelof Earth Ascending , a model which owes much to the
little knownmathematician and mystic, Charles Henry (1859-1926), whose galactic
signature,4 Night, signifies the closing of the Quetzalcoatl Project, July
25, 1997.

In The Mayan Factor , the tzolkin was further demonstrated to bethe Mayan
great cycle of the 13 baktuns-260 katuns, the map of human history,from BC
3113 to AD 2012 . In this way the Harmonic Convergence, August 16-17,1987,
the fulfillment of Quetzalcoatl's prophecy of Thirteen Heavens(AD843-1519)
and Nine Hells(AD 1519-1987) was given a precise context for definingthe
end of the cycle, the cycle itself being the 13-baktun cycle of
humancivilization. According to Earth Ascending, the 13-baktun cycle is the
thirdterm in the holonomic equation, "Man transforms nature." In actuality,the
Harmonic Convergence also closes the entire cycle defined by the riseof homo
sapiens some 26,000 years ago, hence the tremendous significanceof the Harmonic
Convergence for signaling the end of time as we know it.

The Mayan Factor also hypothesized that as the 13 baktun cycle, the
tzolkinalso defines the measure of a type of galactic synchronization beam
throughwhich the Earth has been passing. The astrophysical discovery in 1986-87of
anomalous types of galactic beams seemed to confirm this hypothesis,though
no astrophysicist would ever take the Mayan Factor seriously. TheMayan Factor
also accorded a planetary significance to the 20 solar iconsdefining the
lateral weave of the tzolkin's 13 x 20 grid. Following thepulsation of the
heliocosm, for each planetary orbit one icon or seal wasassigned to the sun's
in-breath, another to the sun's out breath. The asteroidbelt (Maldek) was
considered the fifth of the planetary orbits.

Four years later the Dreamspell Genesis (19991) established a complete
psychocosmologyof the planets whose elaborate sets of relations to each other
are codedinto the tzolkin. By the distinguishing mathematical codes of fourth
dimensionaltime, the tzolkin was further defined as the Harmonic Index, a
matrix of20 wavespells, five castles, five time cells and 65 harmonics. Winter
solstice2012, the end of the thirteen baktun cycle is not the end of the
world,but only the end of the cycle. July 26, 2013, galactic synchronization,was
determined as the commencement of the next 26,000 year cycle. Everythingoccurring
on the planet since the Harmonic Convergence, and before, wasdiscovered to
be a malfunction of operating in the wrong time. A 12:60 timevirus which,
somehow connected with the planets Jupiter and Saturn, hadto be overcome
by a return to the correct timing frequency, now mathematicallydiscovered
and defined as 13:20. The perfect instrument of this frequency,already located
in the binary triplet cosmic code, map 2 of Earth Ascending, is the calendar
of 13 moons of 28 days each.

The Telektonon of Pacal Votan (1993-95) formalized the relation of the
planetaryorbits as the two flows: galactic karmic and solar prophetic. The
Dreamspellcosmology had already defined the relation between Earth and Uranus.
Nowin the Telektonon the relation between Earth and Uranus was further definedas
the 28 day biotelepathic cycle itself. The galactic karmic flow of thefour
planets between Earth and Uranus defined the Tower of Babel: two oppressorpower
planets, Jupiter and Saturn, and one destroyed and one dead planet, Maldek
and Mars. This configuration created an amnesiac wedge betweenEarth and Uranus.
The oppressor planets also define the power of the G-7( Galactic Night, Saturn
7th orbit , Abundance turned into materialism)and false spirituality (Vatican)
Seed Jupiter.

In the 20 Tablets of the Law of Time (1997), further mysteries of the
Telektononare decoded: the 65 harmonics of the tzolkin define a Bi-phasic
Time-Spacematrix in which the 64 DNA Code words are placed in perfect radial
inverserelation to each other in 32 binary sets (Codon Coda, Book of
UniversalLife). The left hand side, Harmonics 1-32 are time phasic (ratio
of 13 timeto 3 space triplets); right hand side Harmonics 34-65, are space
phasic( ratio of 13 space to 3 time triplets). The 33rd harmonic represents
thevoid rune of non-ego. The same time space phasic symmetry of the DNA
Codonsholonomically coded into the tzolkin is perfectly reflected in the
definitionof the two sides of the Harmonic Index according to time phasic
and spacephasic planets, thus giving further definition to the
Dreamspell-Telektononplanet cosmology According to the wavespell positions
on either side ofthe center of the 33rd harmonic, five planets are time phasic,
and fiveplanets are space phasic:

Time Phasic Planets Space Phasic Planets

Neptune Wavespells 1, 10 Venus Wavespells 11, 20

Maldek Wavespells 2, 9 Jupiter Wavespells 12, 19

Earth Wavespells 3, 8 Uranus Wavespells 13, 18

Pluto Wavespells 4, 7 Mercury Wavespells 14, 17

Mars Wavespells 5, 6 Saturn Wavespells 15, 16

Contemplate the symmetry of these pairs. Now locate these planets on the
two flows of the Telektonon Board. Do you understand now why time phasicEarth
can no longer be tyrannized by 12:60 space time and needs an immediatereturn
to true time? On Blue Self-Existing Night and Yellow Overtone Seed,may the
power of the oppressor planets be transformed! May the Planet ArtNetwork
flower everywhere, overcoming the G-7 power of the Syndicate for Material
Evolution with the power of true 13:20 time!

JMJ: The "key" to Mayan time is the sacred cycle of 260 days, the tzolkin.
The word "tzolkin" is derived from the Mayan term "chol kij" - count of days.
This cycle is a combination of 20-daysigns with a number from 1 to 13. So
13 and 20 are the critical numbers of the tzolkin "key." They advance together
in the following way. Today is October 24th, 1995. Daykeepers among many
different Mayan groups will tell you that today is 2 Eb. "Eb" refers to the
daysign generally translated as "tooth". Tomorrow will be 3 Ben, and the
day after that is 4 Ix and so on. After 260 days we get back to 2 Eb. 260
is a key number which refers to processes in the heavens as well as on earth.
For example, the Maya say that it corresponds to the cycle of human gestation
- that's a biological reference. It also corresponds to the time between
the planting and harvesting of corn at a certain elevation in the highlands
- that's agricultural. It also times religious shrine ceremonies in the hills
around Mayan villages. Daykeepers and other calendar-priests go to certain
shrines on certain days in the tzolkin calendar to perform shrine offerings
and commune with Nantat, the ancestors, and El Mundo, the Earth Lord. This
is, you might say, a religious use. Its celestial or astronomical uses are
astounding. It is used to track the phases of the moon. Also, 2 cycles of
260 days equal 520 days and this equals 3 eclipses. So the Maya predict eclipses
by using the tzolkin in this very simple way. Likewise, they track Venus
with the tzolkin, and the time between the eveningstar appearance of Venus
and its appearance as morningstar is 258 days. The other time cycle used
by the Maya is the vague solar year of 365-days known as the "haab". While
the tzolkin is the mysterious multidimensional "key", you might say that
the haab is the mundane or "secular" calendar, primarily used to schedule
secular holidays and so forth. The framework of days created by the combined
tzolkin-haab is like a loom on which the movements of Mars, Saturn, Jupiter
- even Uranus and Neptune can be tracked. It is a sacred-secular or solar-lunar
synthesis. The full tzolkin-haab cycle is completed once every 52 years.
This was the Calendar Round and the Aztecs observed the Pleiades pass through
the zenith at the end of each one of these. The ceremony revolving around
this event was called the New Fire Ceremony.

In general then, the tzolkin is the "key" to both terrestrial and celestial
processes. It's kind of the common modulator or common denominator of the
two realms. This is how we can understand Mayan astrology. They discovered
the numerical and ritual key. Most important in the astrology of all this
is the reference to the human gestation period. As such, our own basic and
shared rhythm of unfolding is seen to be intimately related to the cycles
of the planets, moon and sun. This is more than just planets "influencing"
us - rather, we share the same rhythm of unfolding that the planets do because,
ultimately, everything springs from the same source. Everything, on some
level, has been imparted with the same rhythm of unfolding and is therefore
related by a form of synchronistic correspondence. According to the Maya,
the common source is the Sacred Tree - the Axis Mundi.

RP: How much of an influence was José Argüelles on your
work?

JMJ: Initially, The Mayan Factor (1987) kind of gave permission to interpret
things in a visionary way. Some of Argüelles' early ideas are insightful
and valuable. For example, the term "Harmonic Module" for the tzolkin speaks
for its deeper meanings. His work with the 8 x 8 magic squares and the numbers
64 and 260 led me to some interesting discoveries regarding one of the "core
principles" of the tzolkin, the Golden Mean. Strangely, however, Argüelles
never really explored how the Golden Mean operates within the tzolkin. The
mathematics get pretty intense. So, The Mayan Factor was part of my early
reading, and I suppose it influenced that first travelogue, Journey to the
Mayan Underworld, that I finished in late 1989.

In all fairness, Argüelles was early on a clear visionary voice,
and for whatever reason he did appeal to so many people that the infamous
Harmonic Convergence in August of '87 was something of a phenomenon. However,
things have changed and it seems José has taken some wrong turns.
In The Mayan Factor there isn't much of a distinction made between his visionary
myth-making and what should be called ethno-historic fact. As such, there
is a credibility deficiency due to lack of documentation. I think there is
a place for visionary speculating, taking a study such as the Mayan calendar
beyond what we can read about in academic books. A complex system of symbols
and applications such as the tzolkin encodes certainly can be worked with
in such a way. However, you are obliged to distinguish between what is surely
"Mayan" and what is derived there-from. If you don't, then you're cooking
a pretty messy stew. So a lot of people are confusing what José
Argüelles says with what the Mayans say. This is especially irresponsible
because the Maya are still here! This translates into appropriation and
disrespect for a living tradition. As such, José's words are now treated
by his followers with a kind of cultic inviolability, when in fact they have
increasingly become misconceptions which serve the dubious agenda of one
theocratic leader. José has entered the game of spiritual politics
and as we know, politicians just tell people what they think they want to
hear - rarely the truth.

RP: You write in Tzolkin that "The tzolkin structures a hidden dimension,
closer to the sacred spirit realms." Do you mean by this that the tzolkin
"informs" the haab, lends to it patterns of influence and manifestation?
Could the tzolkin be the source of the morphic resonance postulated by Rupert
Sheldrake?

JMJ: I don't know if the tzolkin "informs" the haab, but you're right
in saying that the tzolkin is the source of a morphic field. But it takes
the ritual feedback of ceremony to keep it rolling. And it is the key-rhythm
or cycle which links us to the greater cosmos. When you track the tzolkin
and follow the 13 x 20 daycount for long enough, observing carefully how
it patterns events in your life, you begin to see how seemingly unrelated
events - unrelated in space as well as time - are really very closely related.
From the viewpoint above the linear march of time, events separated by years
can be seen as two faces of the same transdimensional event. It seems strange
but it's very human, because our minds are really multidimensional. We've
been taught to forget that. The tzolkin is the subject-object interface,
and because on one level its operations are mathematical, one can argue very
solidly how this works. In my work, it has to do with the Golden Mean. This
is a unique ratio which isn't just a mathematical curiousity. It gives rise
to spirals in seashells, pinecones and other basic biological patterns. It
is the principle of regeneration, of patterning based on building off what
came before. As such, human reproduction is a process ruled by the Golden
Mean. The key here is that, like the tzolkin, the Golden Mean is also found
in planetary cycles. In fact, it was really the key to 17th-century cosmologist
Johannes Kepler's Harmony of the Spheres model of the cosmos. Contrary to
what latter-day historians of science usually say, Kepler's model worked
perfectly well for all the visible planets. The point here is that the tzolkin
number 260 is directly related to the Golden Mean. The Golden Mean is usually
approximated as 1.618, and is symbolized by the Greek letter f ("PHI"). Here's
the connection: 100f2 = 261.8. As far as theorems go, this is tolerably close
to 260. The Mayan sacred number 260 is, I believe, referential to the principle
of the Golden Mean. I explore all this very thoroughly in my book Jaloj Kexoj
and PHI-64 (1994). So, yes, the tzolkin provides the logos-pattern or Morphic
Field which human beings can choose to synchronize with by performing ritual
in tune with the inner dynamics of the 13 numbers and 20 day-signs. In doing
so, we can understand our deep interweaving with the cosmos.

RP: In your booklet series called The Center of Mayan Time, you discuss
the Mayan Long Count end-date (December 21st, 2012 A.D.). What is this
about?

JMJ: Many researchers have tried to figure out why the Mayan Calendar
ends on December 21st, 2012 A.D. The Long Count calendar breaks time into
cycles labled baktuns, katuns and so on. The full 13-baktun cycle of the
Long Count lasts just over 5125 years. Scholars have been able to place the
beginning and end of this cycle in relation to our own calendar, and that's
why we know for sure the end date in 2012 A.D. Most researchers have thought
that the beginning commemorates some mythic event, a convocation of gods
or something, and that the Long Count's placement is thereby derived. But
the end-date has always intrigued me, because it does end on the winter solstice.
This tells me that the Maya targeted the end-date as the occurrence of some
event rather than the beginning. But why 2012? The answer is startling in
its simplicity, but has gone unexplored by Mayanists. The Maya were intent
stargazers; Mesoamerican astronomy is so complex there are thousands of volumes
in libraries on this topic, thousands more to be written, and we just don't
know yet what the limits of their astronomical knowledge was.

Now, in 1969 a book came out called Hamlet's Mill and the authors explored
the role of a subtle celestial process called the precession of the equinoxes
in the development of Old World astronomy and science. They mention the fact
that at the turn of this coming millennium, there will be a rare alignment
in that astronomical cycle. The winter solstice meridian will coincide with
the Galactic Equator - the Milky Way. In other words, the winter solstice
sun will be right on the Milky Way circa 2000 A.D., and the alignment has
been slowly converging for thousands of years. Precession is a subtle, very
slow movement of the heavens, and it takes at least 100 years of observational
records and a great deal of careful attention to notice it. My point is that
the ancient skywatchers who devised the Long Count some 2100 years ago had
discovered precession, and looked to the future alignment as a likely World
Age shift. They calculated the event and fixed their creation mythology to
it. There are two more celestial features right near where the sun will be
on the end-date in 2012 A.D.: 1) The "dark rift" which the Maya call "the
road to the underworld." This is a dark area running along part of the Milky
Way caused by interstellar dust clouds; and 2) The Galactic Center. In many
mythological contexts, the "dark-rift" is understood to be the birth canal
of the Great Mother, the Milky Way. It is the birth place of the next World
Age. The celestial cross defined by the Milky Way crossing over the ecliptic
is also important, and this was recently identified by Mayan scholar Linda
Schele as the Mayan Sacred Tree. The heart of the four directional symbolism
is the fifth direction, the center. This is the navel and source of creation.
And again, the "dark- rift" runs through all these features. All of these
mythic symbols are different, but are very close together in the sky. When
the winter solstice sun, who is a "First Father" deity, comes along and gets
born, you have a rare celestial event highlighting a unique era in human
civilization. The strange thing here is that this "womb of creation" imagery
seems appropriate in real terms because the nearby Galactic Center is really
the birth place of everything! The question is whether this is all fairy
tales or are there real effects of the alignment? The field orientation of
the earth, sun and greater galaxy are definitely inter-related. This may
be more about immediate field shifts rather than cause-and-effect energy
emanating from the Galactic Center. Maybe it's a little of both. When the
solstice meridian passes through the Galactic Equator, a rare era in the
earth's journey is engaged. How does this effect human society? Maybe it
sets the stage for earthquakes and volcanoes and pole shifts and so forth
- the recurring Atlantean cataclysm mythos may be based in this 26,000 cycle.
Maybe it's just a paradigm shift, a cycling of psychological dominants as
Jung would say.

The axis of each planet in our solar system has a different angle of
inclination: Mercury 0°, Venus 177°21', Earth 23°26', Mars
25°12', Jupiter 3°07', Saturn 26°44', Uranus 97°46',
Neptune 27°52', and Pluto 119°37'.3 Venus, Uranus, and Pluto are
therefore 'upside down' to some extent, and have a retrograde rotation about
their axis, i.e. they rotate clockwise as viewed from 'above' the solar system.
The sun's axis is tilted at an angle of 7°15' to the ecliptic. The moon's
axis is tilted at an angle of 1.5°.

Although the general view is that during the Phanerozoic (the last 540
million years according to science, or the last 250 million years according
to theosophy15), normal climatic zonation has prevailed on earth, and there
is no evidence for significant departures of the obliquity beyond the supposed
current limits of about 21.5-24.5°, this is not universally accepted.
According to some scientists, palaeoclimatic and palaeontological data suggest
that in the Mesozoic and early Cenozoic the earth's tilt was only 5 to
15°.16

Like several other scientists, Williams maintains that many of the other
planets are subject to significant changes in obliquity, and he rejects the
view that plausible physical mechanisms for substantial changes of obliquity
are unknown. Such mechanisms are said to include tidal torques, dissipative
core-mantle coupling, planetary impact, resonant axial-orbital precession,
and a twist of the orbital angular momentum vector. Some scientists hold
that the inclinations of planetary spins axes have undergone large random,
or chaotic, variations, due to the gravitational pulls of the other planets.
On the basis of detailed orbital calculations, J. Laskar, F. Joutel, &
P. Robutel17 reached the following conclusion:

None of the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, the Earth and Mars) can be
considered as to have primordial obliquities, and all these planets could
have been formed with a near-zero obliquity. The obliquities of these planets
could have undergone large-scale chaotic behaviour during their history.
Mercury and Venus have been stabilized by dissipative effects, the Earth
may have been stabilized by the capture of the Moon, and Mars is still in
a large chaotic zone, ranging from 0° to 60°.

Other estimates of the variation in Mars' tilt are 15-35°18 and
11-49°.19 Regarding the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and
Neptune), Laskar et al. argue that their obliquities

are essentially stable, and can thus be considered as primordial, that
is, with about the same value they had at the end of the formation of the
Solar System. Nevertheless, chaotic behaviour of the obliquities under planetary
perturbations could have occurred in an earlier stage of the formation of
the Solar System . . .

They believe that in the absence of the moon and the torque it exerts
on the earth, the chaotic zone for the earth's axis would extend from 0°
to 85°.

Palaeomagnetic data provide an indication of a location's latitude with
respect to the former magnetic pole, and it is simply assumed that over long
periods of time the magnetic poles will tend to coincide with the geographic
poles. However, the geomagnetic field at the present time deviates substantially
from that of a geocentric axial dipole. The magnetic axis is tilted by about
11° to the rotation axis, and on some planets much greater offsets are
found: 46.8° in the case of Neptune, and 58.6° in the case of Uranus.
In the earth's present magnetic field, the magnetic latitude may therefore
deviate from the geographic latitude by as much as 2000 km. There is also
strong evidence that the geomagnetic field had long-term nondipole components
in the past, though they have largely been neglected. If there were stable
magnetic anomalies of the same intensity as the present-day East Asian anomaly
(or slightly more intensive), this would render the geocentric axial dipole
hypothesis invalid. It is also possible that the magnetic poles have wandered
considerably with respect to the geographic poles in former times. Geological,
palaeoclimatic, and palaeontological data provide powerful evidence against
continental-drift models, and therefore against the current interpretation
of palaeomagnetic data.2

Palaeomagnetic studies show that some rocks have been magnetized in a
direction opposite to that of the present magnetic field. The scientific
consensus today is that this means that the global geomagnetic field at the
time the rocks formed had a reversed polarity. In at least some cases, however,
other explanations are conceivable, such as self-reversal and the existence
of regional magnetic anomalies. For instance, a set of palaeomagnetic anomalies
from northern and central Europe, eastern Canada, the Gulf of Mexico, and
New Zealand, with dates clustering around 12,500 BP, has been interpreted
as a global geomagnetic fluctuation (the Gothenburg flip), but the event
is apparently not recorded in sedimentary sequences of the same age in southern
Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, and western North America.3 Even today there
are isolated spots of opposite magnetic polarity in both the northern and
southern hemispheres.4 Whether they occur or not, magnetic reversals should
clearly not be confused with inversions of the axis.

In addition to the magnetic axis, three other earth axes can be distinguished:
1. the geographic axis: the line joining the north and south poles, the points
of origin for the lines of latitude and longitude; 2. the rotation axis or
axis of instantaneous rotation: the line drawn through the earth about which
it is actually rotating at any instant; the points where it cuts the earth's
surface are called the rotation poles; 3. the axis of figure or axis of maximum
moment of inertia: the axis of symmetry of the earth's spheroid, determined
by the distribution of mass within the planet.5

For everyday purposes, these three axes are so close together that they
can be thought of as coinciding. In reality, however, the axis of figure
is not exactly coincident with the axis of rotation, and this gives rise
to tiny polar motions. These motions produce slight latitude variations,
which can be measured as the difference between the geographical latitude
and the true astronomical latitude, as measured from the rotation axis. Two
discrete periodic oscillations can be distinguished:

The Chandler Wobble, has about a 14-month period [428 days], and the other
has a 12-month period. The combination of these two wobbles causes the poles
to trace spiral paths out of, around, and eventually back into their mean
positions over a period of about 6.5 years. The separation between the actual
and mean poles was exceptionally large in about 1952, when they were separated
by 12 m (37 feet), or 0.37 arc second (0.37"). Their maximum separation during
the 6.5-year period averages about 0.25".6

The Chandler wobble is thought to be related to earthquakes, surface wind
loads, solar activity, and geomagnetism. However, there is disagreement on
whether the wobble excites earthquakes, is partly caused by them, or whether
they both have a common cause.7

The only perfectly stable state of rotation for a planet occurs when
it rotates about its axis of figure. An internal redistribution of mass,
or a comet or asteroid impact, drags the axis of figure away from the rotation
axis, creating an unstable condition. The rotation axis then tries to realign
itself with the figure axis; the figure axis precesses about the rotation
axis in an ever-decreasing spiral until the two axes again coincide. Strictly
speaking, the position of the figure axis is never exactly constant: the
weather systems, ocean tides, and even the movement of animals and humans
all alter the earth's mass distribution and therefore the position of the
figure axis.

This slight axial wobble is not in dispute. However, the occurrence of
systematic, large-scale migration of the geographic poles or 'true polar
wander' is highly controversial. Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries,
polar wandering was frequently invoked to explain the evidence for former
higher temperatures in the polar regions and former ice sheets at low latitudes.
Although nowadays such phenomena tend to be explained primarily in terms
of continental drift, some scientists believe that polar wandering has also
taken place. Opinions differ on the extent to which changes of mass distribution
in or on the earth can alter the position of the spin axis and at what rate,
depending mainly on the assumptions made about the inner structure of the
earth.

SPECULATION ABOUT the existence of unseen celestial companions dates back
far before the discovery of Pluto in 1929  and even figures in more
recent fringe phenomena such as the 1997 Heavens Gate tragedy
and talk of a new Planet X. This latest hypothesis, however,
is aimed at answering nagging scientific questions about how particular types
of comets make their way into the inner solar system.

Some comets, like Halleys Comet, follow relatively short-period
orbits  circling the sun in less than two hundred years. These comets
are thought to originate in the Kuiper Belt, a disk of cosmic debris that
lies beyond Neptunes orbit.

The best way to think of the distances involved is in terms of Astronomical
Units. One AU is the distance from Earth to the sun (93 million miles or
149.6 million kilometers). Pluto, the most distant of the planets, is at
39 AU. The Kuiper Belt extends from 30 AU to perhaps 1,000 AU.

Even further out is the Oort Cloud, a spherical haze of comets surrounding
the solar system at distances between 10,000 AU and more than 50,000 AU.
Thats where long-period comets such as Hale-Bopp are thought to come
from. For some time, astronomers have noticed that the directional patterns
of these comets are not completely random. And after years of study, some
researchers are reporting that the patterns hint at something big out there
perturbing the cometary paths.

Every day our neighborhood appears a bit more crowded--and dangerous.
The band between Earth and Mars hosts swarms of swift-moving asteroids, some
of which might eventually threaten our planet. The inner solar system is
home to an estimated 1,000 to 1,500 asteroids a kilometer or greater in width,
with perhaps a million rocks 50 meters and larger. Asteroid observations
pour in at the rate of 15,000 or more a day.

The burden of keeping track of near-Earth objects (NEOs)--asteroids and
the occasional comets that pass through our vicinity--falls on Brian Marsden.
Since 1978 he has directed the Minor Planet Center (MPC) at the Smithsonian
Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Mass. Sky watchers from all over
the world send putative sightings to the MPC, which operates on behalf of
the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The MPC processes and organizes
data, identifies objects, computes orbits, assigns tentative names and
disseminates information on a daily basis. For objects of special interest,
the center solicits follow-up observations and requests archival data searches.
"We are the focal point," Marsden says. "All the observations come here."

Marsden has served as the referee for all NEO sightings over the past
25 years--a period in which the total search effort has grown from a fledgling
survey or two into a productive and efficient international network. At times
this role has put him in the middle of controversy. Perhaps the most notorious
incident occurred on March 11, 1998, when Marsden indicated on the MPC Web
site that an asteroid discovered in December 1997 (then named 1997 XF11 and
now called asteroid 35396) would make a close approach in 30 years. "The
chance of an actual collision is small," he wrote, "but one is not entirely
out of the question." That phrase set off a media circus that ranked among
the 20 top science debacles of the century, according to Discover magazine.

Marsden admits that his word choice was "ill advised" but insists the
calculation was correct at the time. He emphasized its uncertainty in the
original notice and asked for more data. When the computations were redone
a day later, incorporating orbital information from an old photograph, the
threat vanished.

COLLISIONS with even small NEOs pose a threat: an object only 100 meters
wide flattened these trees in Siberia in 1908.

"Much as the incident was bad for my own reputation, we needed a scare
like that to bring attention to this problem," Marsden remarks. "Many wondered
whether I´d survive, but I´m still here." More important, he says,
the field itself has prospered. In the wake of XF11 publicity, NASA increased
funding for asteroid searches from $1 million to $3.5 million annually. In
addition, groups at the University of Pisa in Italy and the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., began doing routine risk evaluations of
potentially menacing objects. To date, the confirmed NEO total includes about
2,250 asteroids, a dozen comets that complete their orbits in less than 200
years, and 1,000 long-period comets (on orbits 200 years or longer) that
pose no immediate concern.

It´s a far cry from the early 1960s, when Marsden started adding
to the list of some two dozen known NEOs with detections he made as a Yale
University graduate student. After earning his Ph.D. in astronomy in 1965,
he took a job at the Smithsonian, where he has worked ever since.

When Marsden began studying minor planets, "nobody cared about asteroids.
They were dismissed as ´vermin of the sky.´" Now the study is a
bona fide field, thanks to automated search programs such as the Lincoln
Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR), run by the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology Lincoln Laboratory, and NASA´s Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking
(NEAT), which collectively account for 90 percent of all NEO detections.
The MPC is hard-pressed to keep up with the tide of incoming data, especially
with a volume of main-belt asteroid observations 100 times as great as that
for NEOs.

Despite the workload, the MPC staff consists of only 2.5 people, including
Marsden, who would like to keep the center running 24 hours a day. But that
is not feasible: MPC gets just $130,000 a year from NASA, despite the
agency´s increased spending on NEO surveys. Other income, from subscriptions
and donations, is not enough to cover the 80- to 100-hour workweeks. "Here
we are saving the world, and they expect us to do it on our own time," Marsden
quips.

More draining than the task at hand, however, is the time wasted on arguments.
"There´s a lot of infighting in this business. Not everybody likes
everybody," he says. Besides the XF11 affair, which soured his relationships
with several colleagues, Marsden has taken heat over access to information.
He would rather not release data for tentative, single-night asteroid
sightings--"one-night stands," as he calls them--both to ensure the data´s
reliability and to conform to the policies of leading programs such as LINEAR,
NEAT and Spacewatch, which do not want unsubstantiated data made public.
Astronomers who are anxious to see everything blame Marsden for impeding
the information flow. "Brian follows the rules [set by the IAU], but the
rules are flawed," Lowell Observatory astronomer Ted Bowell complains. He
states that Marsden and others "often post orbital predictions without sharing
the data that led to the calculations. I find that scientifically unacceptable."

Despite such criticism, the IAU recently extended the Smithsonian´s
contract for running the MPC through 2006. As for beyond that, rumors swirl
about "hostile takeovers," in Marsden´s words. Grant Stokes, who heads
the LINEAR program, thinks that moving the MPC to a new home would be a mistake.
"Brian and his center service the observing community wonderfully," Stokes
says. "It´s hard for me to believe this effort could be duplicated
elsewhere."

Marsden tries to ignore the squabbles as he looks to the future. One day,
inevitably, there will be a NEO on a collision course with Earth. With luck,
it will be small and won´t cause much damage. If it is spotted years
or decades in advance, there might be time to intervene. "This is one threat
we can do something about," he declares. Various defensive strategies have
been proposed, including nudging an approaching asteroid with a nuclear blast
or darkening part of the object´s surface so that the thrust produced
by radiated heat changes its orbit. Marsden is not sure how much money should
be spent exploring these options but insists that "we have to do more than
the dinosaurs."

Until now, the focus has been on large asteroids, a kilometer or bigger.
The goal of the Spaceguard Survey, funded mainly by NASA, is to find 90 percent
of these objects by 2008. More than 650 asteroids have been identified so
far, perhaps half the total. (Astronomers estimate the total based on discovery
rates from previous surveys.) Still, Marsden remarks, "we should begin planning
the next step." Looking for 200- to 300-meter-wide objects is often proposed
as a sensible target, but that would require new telescopes and roughly 10
times as much money.

Marsden turns 66 this month and would eventually like to hand the reins
over to MPC´s associate director, Gareth Williams, his partner since
1990. There´s no timetable for a transition, says Williams, who admits
he has "very big shoes to fill. Brian has been preeminent in the field since
the 1960s." NASA Ames astronomer David Morrison, chair of the IAU´s
NEO working group, also lauds Marsden´s efforts. Given Marsden´s
long tenure in the NEO field--starting out as he did when there was no "field"
to speak of--Morrison is skeptical about talk of his impending retirement:
"I think he´ll do it forever." That is, of course, if the world
doesn´t end first.

7-16-03 - If you've never paid much attention to comets and asteroids
before, you will be wise to pay attention to this prophecy. It comes from
a psychic with great gifts.

A series of comets (a string) is coming inward towards the sun. The
time frame to watch for will be early 2004, so there is still some time to
prepare for this series of events. Some of these comets are going to hit
the sun and will be of little consequence to us personally. However, one
of these comets is on a tragectory to hit the moon. A large chunk of the
moon will break off and come down and hit the earth. But that is not the
worst - a comet will be close enough to the earth's trajectory to hit it
directly - so we will be hit twice.

The time frame - according to the source will be approximately nine
months from today. 7-16-03 - which makes it approximately March 15, 2004,
the Ides of March.

10-4-94 - DREAM - I was living in New Berlin. I had an infant son
. He said to me, "I had a dream!" I said, "What was it?" He said, "I was
a student at Arizona University and I knew that between August 18th and 21st
a huge comet was going to hit the earth."

NOTE: Since I had this dream AFTER the 'string of pearl's hit Jupiter,
does this mean that another 'string of pearl's is coming in the
future?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DREAM OF CME - In 1984, as I was praying and crying out to God, I
was taken in the Spirit to what seemed to be at the time, a different world
than what I was accustomed to knowing as Earth. Everything around me was
in a state of destruction and panic. I could hear people screaming and crying,
as I knelt between automobiles that were turned upside down and smoking as
if they had been burning. It looked as though God had set me down in the
middle of a War Zone.

As I looked toward the Heavens I could see the Sun, (which did not
hurt my eyes to look at, for all around me was darkness and yet I could see
the Sun), and two planets. The Sun was shooting off enormous explosions of
fireballs, and as I watched it, I could not understand what was happening
nor could I understand where I was or why.

At that time, I heard a noise behind me and as I turned around, I
discovered lying behind me was a very large lion, yet I wasn't afraid. Instead
I felt peace and knew it was there to protect me from the people that was
running past me screaming and crying in a state of panic.

As I looked again at the Sun, a man (which I have seen several times
in visions) walked up and knelt beside me. While I felt as though I had always
known this man, I have never met him. I then stated, "I don't understand!"

He smiled and replied, "You don't remember, do you?

I answered, "No."

As I looked back at him, he placed his hand over my eyes and said,
"You will."

At that very instant, I was back on my porch at my home, left with
many years of unanswered questions. On June 1, 1999, I was driving my Aunt
to the doctor, when I saw a quick flash of the Sun that I had seen in my
vision in 1984. At that very instant the Holy Spirit said, "Remember!"

A couple of days later I found out that on June 1, 1999, there was
a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) and the astronomers did not know for a while
if it was headed for Earth or not. If it had, we would of only had a couple
of days' notice before it would have hit Earth with Solar winds and could
have possibly caused disruptions in utilities, communications, etc. I now
believe God showed me in 1984 a major CME that would hit Earth and cause
major destruction. The lion, I believe represented The Lion of Judah, and
that he would be protecting me and all of his Children that are hearing and
obeying Him. I pray that this gives confirmation to someone that might also
have heard from God about possible event(s) that soon may happen. God never
surprises His Children. He always Warns us of what is to come.

Love and Faith, Gilda

5-1-94 - DREAM - I was in an office working on a project, deciding
what should be saved, what should be shredded or hidden.

A man came and gave me several sheets which had a variety of 4 digit
numbers on it. The man said these were the numbers of the Laws and they were
from Section 1. I knew I needed to learn these. He also gave me the sheets
for the Laws from Section 2, but I didn't look at them. I put several sheets
of paper into a sort of shredder and when I did, the hopper was full and
pushed out a single sheet of paper from the back. I looked at it. It was
a copy of a star map which I already had the original. I decided it was important
enough to keep the copy too and placed it in the lower left hand drawer of
my desk.

The stars were in clusters like planets circling a main star. There
were many of them on the paper.

********************

10-11-98 - DREAM - I was seeing several e-mails on a computer and
it seemed it was a series of arguments about various subjects, but I was
seeing only the titles of the arguments and not the arguments themselves.Then
it got to the bottom and it said, 'STOP MAIL' STOP MAIL'.

I then went outside and the whole air was dark brown. I thought that
was really strange so I looked up into the sky and saw a full, complete,
total eclipse of the the sun. The sun was very small, so the moon covering
it looked even smaller. I could see the golden corona of the sun around the
moon which looked like a round dot.

Then suddenly, it looked like the sun exploded and dozens of small
5 pointed golden stars flew out of the sun in every direction.

I said, "Oh my God! The sun is exploding!" But after the stars flew
out of the sun, the sun, still in full eclipse was still there.

I called it to everyone's attention who was nearby and then went
back into the building.

My apartment was full of people. Everyone I've known in the last
20 years was there and lots of children I didn't know. Everyone was standing
around talking and it had a party atmosphere.

An insurance agent of some kind came in and said he needed to see
me. He showed me a sheet of paper with brown writing on it. It was the verbatim
arguments of three women of which I was one of them according to him. I saw
the names of the other two women and as I recall they were psychic-type women.

According to the insurance guy, I was determined the victor of the
argument and as the one who was vindicated, I was being given an award.

He handed me a tall grey metal box that was very thin but wide and
I opened it and it was an apartment key box with all the keys hanging on
pegs inside. I thanked him and noticed that on the very bottom of this box
were two extra keys and padlocks. They were very small less than an inch
long. I asked what they were for. He told me they were for the two storage
rooms in the basement that the outside contractors used for themselves that
no one else had access to. He said that I may as well avail myself of the
material there rather than use my own.

I was really pleased with that, so I went downstairs and opened the
door. Inside, it was like a grocery store, not that there was a lot of stuff,
but what was there was BIG, and on top was the biggest bottles of yellow
mustard and red ketchup I've ever seen.

I went back upstairs where the children were getting out of hand.
All the kids were in the bedroom on top of the bed and they were trying to
do every thing all in the same space. Some were trying to get their homework
done, some were trying to build things with legos, some were playing with
dolls and some were searching through a big mess of toys trying to decide
what to play with.

So, I had to separate the children depending on what task they were
doing. The ones who needed to finish their homework were moved out to a white
counter in another room, and the other children were moved to different areas
depending on what they were doing.

Then I went back to where the older teens and the adults were still
chatting and our grandson Ethan came in singing a little song, "Jesus loves
me and I let him in." It had a 3rd line which I can't recall, but I asked
him if he would sing it to the whole group. At this point I called him Bill
and told the group that Bill wanted to sing for them. I picked Ethan up so
he was at their level and everyone gathered around and Ethan sang his little
song,"Jesus loves me and I let him in," plus the 3rd line I can't remember.

The instant he stopped singing, one of the women in the group whom
I knew well, began to pass out what looked like menus and I thought it was
for a pizza place. Then she sat down in front of the windows. She was blonde
with curly, shoulder length hair, wore a peach colored dress and peach colored
lipstick to match. As the sun streamed in the window behind her, she literally
glowed with a translucent quality, that surprised even me. She began to tell
the women that she had set up a shop at a place that looked like HALL on
the sheet but she said Pizzaro where they could learn to look like her. ...and
I woke up.

*************************

10-18-98 - DREAM - I was working on a web page that was showing me
prophecies about the sun. The first one was dated 4-14-98 and the following
one was dated 5-15-98. The one for 5-15-98 said, "The sun is going to do
something it's not supposed to do."

I tried everything I could to pull up these files, but I couldn't
get them to come up. I got frustrated and got up from the computer and found
out that my boss was questioning my loyalty to the work I was supposed to
do. To test me, they sent two good looking men to my apartment to tempt me.
Neither one actually came into the apartment but appeared at different doors.
I ignored both of them.

I was told then that a phone call had come in for me across the hall.
I went across the hall to take the call. I noted that all the furniture and
the phone was black ebony. I also noticed that I had a feeling that I had
to keep this phone call a secret from prying ears.

I picked up the phone to take the call. Rather than hearing someone
speak, I saw the message in the air like it was a typed paragraph. It said,
"Practice typing the letter to "The Earl of T______. You will be asked to
type this letter verbatim in the future. You will be tested on the sun
information for the 4-14-98 and 5-15-98 dates."

After I woke up, I was thinking about this dream and a vision appeared
as a typed paragraph, "When the sun does not feel like its out there, or
back there, or will not be there, people go crazy."

NOTE: I looked up previous dreams from 4-14-98. It was a web page
about Avebury, England. I did not record anything on 5-15-98. (I obviously
could not remember the dreams that night) I then went on the computer and
looked up the sun activity for those two dates. On both dates were violent
explosions on the sun. The recent dreams about the sun are posted above,
of the sun coming up and going back down, and the other one of a total solar
eclipse where the sun exploded and many stars shot out of it.

***********************

3-19-99 - MEDITATION - I saw a black.. 8 quart. kettle. Inside the
kettle, written in red on the side was written: "LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA".
It was written in Greek Style letters. A voice said, "The other half of the
information is at MIT!" I then saw the layout of the sun and planets:

Here is the layout:

The Sun is in the center. With a clock layout:

Saturn was at 6 o'clock

Jupiter was just below 9 o'clock

5 planets all the same size were lined up between 9 and 12.

There was no voice with the vision. But it felt ominous.

Strange to have all the planets all on one size.

(It is not the 5/5/2000 layout.)

*************************

3-21-99 - SATURNALIA - VISION - I saw a guy with a hooded cape. He
was flying and said, "Everybody has the opportunity to fly to Saturnalia."

I my friend Michelle measuring 1/2 of some salt on one side of a
balance scale. She said, "Half of the salt goes here." (She was putting it
on outside half of the scale. It was on the side away from her.)

A man said, "Here is the key! Where is your back, Sir?" He reached
down and moved several books from a pile on the floor.

(Brotherhood of the RosyCross? Manly Hall's book was about the
Rosicrucians and the Kabbalah)

Earlier I saw a whole bunch of pictures of people. the page after
page of cartoons from the Sunday newspaper.

A voice said, "You were too busy to see this earlier." I saw a page
of colorful drawings of people and symbols.."Astrological?" (See the Manly
Hall book again)

A man said, "I'm going to keep you on the payroll and give you something
every 1/2 hour."

A man said, "I can't forget this!" It looked like he spilled a bag
of marbles but when they rolled out in a line they looked like the sun with
all the planets in a lineup above it on one side.

A man said, "Can I take you on a trip somewhere?" I said, "It depends
on where!" I saw him laying out a map on a card table. He was spreading it
out and showing me star systems. He said, "We have to go back and start in
1989! We have to find the SS movement and the tie to 11:11." Then I heard,
"There was a tie to the link 12 years ago." (1987?)

He said, "Let's not forget the men in Africa and Australia." He closed
their book and said, "thank you, thank you!"

Now I saw the Orca (whale). He said, "Let's not miss the Aquarium.
We missed the conception."

But we kept looking through our files for more. And we found more!
1998 was an interesting year. On November 21st of 1998 SOHO went into ESR
(Emergency Recovery). The last image on the site was our old friend ORCA.
As we looked closer at the "ORCA" images we realized that there were actually
two bodies in the picture not just one. At the time we had no explanation
for the second object in the images. The shape of the larger one does appear
to match that of Phobos. The trail behind it appears to be twisting as if
rotational. The other body below also has a twisting trail behind it. The
twisting and "Yin Yang" appearance of the two bodies would provide a modestly
stable orbit for the two bodies. ORCA was also seen on June 26 of 1998. That
same month the principle investigator on the LASCO PROJECT DIED!

3-5-00 - MEDITATION - I had been researching the subject of an
extraterrestrial group called the HATHORS. While searching for this, I got
really tired. There was a connection to Orion and to Venus. They can't both
be right... but maybe they can.

However, when I lay down, I had two visions of Star Charts. I couldn't
read anything on the first one because it was light blue on white. The second
star chart was also light blue on white, but I could read the word BIOS next
to one of the stars or planets on the chart.

NOTE: Pythagoras developed a modern theory of vision much simpler than
that of Plato. This theory maintained that light is emitted from luminous
bodies, can suffer reflections, and causes the sensation of sight when it
enters the eyes. He was the first Greek to realize that the morning star
and evening star were both the planet Venus. Pythagoras postulated that the
Earth was spherical, and added more crystalline spheres to Anaximander's
model, one for each planet, to account for the motions of the various planets.

Venusian lava flows extending for hundreds of kilometers. Some of Venus's
volcanoes may still be active. Image credit: NASA's Magellan Mission to
Venus.

Venus is indeed warm, but more so than early sci-fi authors suspected.
The surface temperature is ~860 F (460 C) -- hot enough to melt lead! The
air is thick and steamy, too. The atmospheric pressure is about 90 times
that of Earth. And the steam .... it's sulfuric acid, a corrosive mist that
floats cloud-like through Venus's 96% carbon dioxide atmosphere.

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that traps infrared radiation beneath
Venus's thick cloud cover. A runaway greenhouse effect is what makes Venus
even hotter than Mercury! The clouds also hide a forbidding terrain, strewn
with craters and volcanic calderas. There are no rivers, lakes, or oceans
on Venus -- like Mars, Venus is bone dry.

Like the Moon, Venus has a full range of phases. It can be "Full" when
Venus is on the far side of the Sun, "New" when Venus is between the Sun
and Earth, and a crescent at points in between.

Venus will become New on March 30th. Its darkened night side will face
Earth as it moves almost directly between our planet and the Sun -- a situation
astronomers call inferior conjunction. During the days around inferior
conjunction, when Venus is as close as it can be to us, its whisker-thin
crescent will appear through the lens of a 34-power telescope as large as
the Moon does to the unaided eye!

Velikovsky wrote about a number of planets especially Venus changing orbits
and causing the Earth to stand still at the time of Joshua.

Worlds in Collision

The general thesis of Worlds in Collision is that the Earth underwent
vast cataclysms in early historic times. The planet Venus, says Velikovsky,
is only 3500 years old. It was expelled as a comet from Jupiter, creating
the Great Red Spot as a sort of Caesarian scar, then repeatedly passed close
to Earth, stopping its rotation, re-starting it, changing its axial tilt,
causing the Plagues of Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, and other disasters
chronicled in the world's mythologies. The geologic effects on the Earth
were, as one might imagine, immense: tsunamis, great movements of the crust,
earthquakes, vast outpourings of lava. Organic chemicals drifted down from
Venus to supply the Israelites with manna and fill the world's oil reservoirs.
(Golda Meir, late Prime Minister of Israel, once remarked that it took Moses
forty years to lead the Hebrews through the desert to the only place in the
Middle East that had no oil!) Finally, Venus settled down into the most circular
orbit of any of the planets. A few centuries later, Mars went on a smaller
rampage, passing close to Earth and causing various disasters. Velikovsky
developed these theories at length in Worlds in Collision and its sequels,
Earth in Upheaval and Ages in Chaos.

This is not the first dream I've had about this. I did a
web page a few years ago.

10-06-05 - DREAM - I was in the country somewhere. I was asked to come
to a resort hotel and pick up a message. When I got to the front desk,
there was a small envelope with my name on it, attached to a large Sunday
newspaper. I picked up the newspaper to take it with me, and all the
inserts, and the newspaper fell out of my hands and landed all on the floor in
a big mess. A woman, who had left the message for me, tried to prevent
me from picking up all the pieces, but I needed them all in order to solve the
puzzle of why I was given this message. I managed to pick them all up, but
they were no longer in the same order as when I was given the newspaper. I
took them with me.

Outside some people were being taught a dance. They were in their
stockinged feet, and it looked rather like a Maypole dance without the pole.
They did the Morris dance. I could hear the music playing while they danced. These
were all couples, male, female, male, female, etc. probably about 20 in the
circle. They were all happy and laughing and enjoying themselves. They were all
dressed in costumes, with the women wearing large veluminous skirts with
crinoline under them. The only problem was that their socks got holes in them
from the dancing. They had to dance up to number 59.

I then went to my office. I hadn't yet opened up the envelope with the
message because I had to work. I was standing at a long table on which
sheets like blueprints were coming out of a machine - but looked like colored
maps of orange, brown, and green. They were in a long string which I had to tear
apart, and because the paper was so thin, by handling them, holes pulled
into the paper from my thumbs, and tore along the edges in long rips from
pulling on the paper. This paper seemed to be made of thin fibrous material.

Someone asked me why I was separating the sheets. I said, because I can
take each one of these sheets in to the engineers and find out where they go.
This too was like a big puzzle that had to be put together.

As I was going through the next room, I came across the dancers again,
this time they were dancing around a large round table, all holding hands and
doing that same maypole type dance. This time they were told to make wishes as
they danced, and again were dancing to the number 59, in their stockinged feet,
making holes in their socks. But when they got to J58 - I was told,
"This is the time of the first impact" and I abruptly woke up.

NOTE: It is apparent that the Morris Dance is done at May
Dances on May 1st every year. If you count 59 from then, takes you to June
29, but the first impact = J58, which is June 28th.

However, this does give us the year - Sunday the 28th of June
would be the correct date. The 28th of June lands on Sunday in the year
2009.
